a person has a rectangular park whose area is 100 sq m
he fences three sides of the garden with 30 m barbed wire on the forth side the wall of his house is constructed find the dimensions of the garden
------
Draw the picture.
You have a rectangle with side opposite the house = 30 m
Let the sides perpendicular to the house have length "x" meters.
------
Equation:
Area = length*width
100 = 30x
x = 3 1/3 m
-----
Dimensions: 30m by 3 1/3 m
-----------
