Question

6. If large square beds of equal size are to be made for planting vegetables on a plot of
land 18 m long and 15 m wide, what is the maximum possible length of each bed?​

Answer 1

Answer:

3 m , exactly

Step-by-step explanation:

We find HCF here,

Simple factorisation & Prime factorization

18= 2 × 3 × 3 =2^1 × 3^2

15= 3 ×5 =3^1 × 5^1

For HCF, we choose those common factors with least powers,

So,

HCF = 3

Hence,

Max possible length of each bed will be = 3 m
