Question

A farmer died and leave his land to be equally divided amongst his wife and 7 children. unfortunately the land is l-shaped can you help his family settle the land dispute.

Answer 1

We can divide this land in to 7 +1 = 8 parts by dividing "I" section in to equal parts.

Step-by-step explanation:

• we have a land of I section, In this question the cross section or dimension of lands are missing so we can assume that the "I section is symmetrical".

• A symmetrical I section is having the same dimensions in all the coordinates. we have attached a figure of I section also .

• we can divide this I section in 8 parts like 3 equal parts of upper section, and 3 equal parts of lower section and 2 equal parts in mid section.
• we can introduce the formula of area in two parts after cutting mid section, The mid section will be convert in to T section. That means upper T section would have 4 parts and lower T section would have 4 parts .
• Now we can introduce symmetry formula as:

      $\bar{y} = \dfrac{A_1x_1 +A_2x_2+A_3x_3+ A_4x_4}{A_1+A_2+A_3+A_4}$

• According to above mentioned formula we can calculate the symmetric land for 4 parts for uppere section as well as lower section.

Answer 2

Answer:

Divide L by 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Wife=1

Children=7

Sum of both is equals to 8
