5. Old MacDonald has a farm, and on that farm she has some sheep and a pasture with a 200 meter long stone wall. She wants to enclose a rectangular section of the pasture for a small sheep pen using the wall for one side and 140 meters of fencing she was given by her uncle Milo for the other three sides. Let x denote the length of the fence that will be attached to the wall used as a side for the pen. 
   Which of the following equations express the area of the pen, A, as a function of x.

i.. A = x ( 70 - x)                     ii.. A = 2 x ( 140 - x)
ii.. A = x ( 140 - x)                  iv.. A = x ( 200 - (l/2)x)
v. A = 2 x ( 70 - x)                  vi. A = 2 x ( 200 - x)
