How to work it out logically? Question a !!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Fencing is done along KL which is (1500+520.8=2020.8 m) from the top left corner and divides the property into half.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the figure with dimensions. we have to find the area of given figure.

Area of figure=ar(1)+ar(2)+ar(3)

Area of region 1 = ar(ANGI)+ar(AIB)

                          $=L\times B+\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height\\\\=[1500\times (5000-2000-1500)]+\frac{1}{2}\times (3000-1500)\times (5000-2000-1500)\\\\=3375000m^2=337.5ha$

Area of region 2 = ar(DHBC)

                       $=2000\times1500\\\\=3000000m^2=300ha$

Area of region 3 = ar(GFEH)

                             $(2000+1500)\times 1000\\\\=3500000m^2=350ha$

Hence, Area of figure=ar(1)+ar(2)+ar(3)=337.5ha+300ha+350ha

                                                 =987.5 ha

Now, we have to do straight-line fencing such that area become half and cost of fencing is minimum.

Let the fencing be done through x m downward from B which divides the two into equal area.

⇒ Area of upper part above fencing=Area of lower part below fencing

⇒$ar(ANGB)+ar(GKLB)=ar(KLCM)+ar(MDCF)\\\\337500+3000x=(3500-x)\times 1000+2000(1500-x)\\\\3375000+3000x=3500000-1000x+3000000-2000x\\\\6000x=315000\\\\x=\frac{315000}{6000}=520.8m$

Hence, fencing is done along KL which is (1500+520.8=2020.8 m) from the top left corner and divides the property into half.

Answer 2
