Answer 1

Answer:

a. Please find attached the dimensions for the outline of the garden with the three plots inserted

b.) Team A: 6 m

Team B: 8 m

Team C: 7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The size of the plot Team A wants = 36 square meters

The size of the plot Team B wants = 64 square meters

The size of the plot Team C wants = 49 square meters

a. The outline of the garden is attached

b.) The dimensions of each side of the needed plot of land by the three teams

For team A we have;

The shape of the needed plot of land = Square

The size of the needed plot of land = 36 m²

The dimension of each side of the needed plot of land = 6 m

The dimensions of each side of the needed plot of land for team A = 6 m

For team B we have;

The shape of the needed plot of land = Square

The size of the needed plot of land = 64 m²

The dimensions of each side of the needed plot of land = 8 m

The dimensions of each side of the needed plot of land for team B= 8 m

For team C we have;

The shape of the needed plot of land = Square

The dimensions of the needed plot of land = 49 m²

The dimensions of each side of the needed plot of land for team C= 7 m

c.) The minimum dimension of the garden plot are;

Length: 15 m

Width: 13 m
