Question 417627: Two young boys, Bob and Tom, are mowing grass one summer as a means of making money to save for their college education. They always split the work and proceeds equally. They have one lawnmower. They obtain a new job which involves mowing a 40' by 80' rectangular vacant lot. The owner wants it mowed in a collapsing pattern (begin mowing around the outside perimeter, with each pass moving closer to the center of the lot). Bob will mow first, turning the work over to Tom when he has mowed exactly half the area. Bob decides that he will stop at a uniform distance in from the perimeter on all sides, leaving a remaining rectangle for Tom to complete. At what uniform distance (in feet to 2 decimal places) should Bob stop mowing? Solve by creating and solving a quadratic equation.
