Optimization problem?

A rancher wishes to fence in a rectangular corral enclosing 1300 square yards and must divide it in half with a fence down the middle. IF the perimeter fence costs $5 per yard and the fence down the middle costs $3 per yard, determine the dimensions of the corral so that the fencing cost will be as small as possible.
