Question

9) The adjoining figure shows the location of four flower beds in a park. If the
outer dimensions of the park are 34 m x 28 m and the inner dimensions are
24 mx 18 m, find the area of each flower bed. All flower beds have the same width.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

One direction constrains the width of the flower beds to be = 28 - 18 / 2 = 5

The other direction constrains the width to be = 34 - 24 / 2 = 5

Two flower beds each have bases 28 and 18, with height of 5;

and two flower beds each have bases 34 and 24 with height of 5.

Calculate each flower bed area.

For each of the shorter flower beds =  28 + 18 / 5 = 31.6 m^2

For each of the longer flower beds areas = 34 + 24 / 5 = 38.8 m^2
