Question 977252: Hi, please help me. It's about quadratic equation, Mr. Bonifacio would like to enclose
his two adjacent rectangular gardens
with 70.5 m of fencing materials. The
gardens are of the same size and
their total area is 180 m2.
1. How would you represent the dimensions of each garden?
2. What mathematical sentence would represent the length of fencing material to be
used in enclosing the two gardens?
How about the mathematical sentence that would represent the total area of the
two gardens?
3. How will you find the dimensions of each garden?
4. What equation will you use in finding the dimensions of each garden?
5. How would you describe the equation formulated in item 4?
How are you going to find the solutions of this equation?
6. Do you think the methods of solving quadratic equations that you already learned
can be used to solve the equation formulated in item 4? Why?

Must the manner of fencing the gardens be guessed? Will the fencing material border each garden separately or will the material go around the total area of both gardens?

Decide which way is needed so that a tutor does not need to make guesses.

If the fence goes around the total garden area, then there is a good lesson for this ready to use (and study)...
