A regtanular garden measures 38m by 20m to the nearest metre. What is the maximum possible area of the garden?
38.49 * 20.49 = ______ square m
789.25 m^2 or 788.6601 m^2.
Would it be 38.49999 recurring or just 38.49?
Round it to 38.5
OK thanks.I'm also unsure on simultaneous equations, could you help me with this too?
y = x^2 - x - 1
y = 2 - 3x
To find the maximum possible area of the garden, we need to determine the dimensions that give the largest area.
In this case, the garden measures 38m by 20m to the nearest meter. To find the maximum possible area, we need to consider two scenarios:
Scenario 1: The garden length is 38m and the garden width is 20m.
To calculate the area, we multiply the length by the width:
Area = Length * Width = 38m * 20m = 760 square meters.
Scenario 2: The garden length is 39m and the garden width is 21m.
To calculate the area, we multiply the length by the width:
Area = Length * Width = 39m * 21m = 819 square meters.
Since the measurements are given to the nearest meter, we can't have a garden length greater than 39m or a garden width greater than 21m. Therefore, the maximum possible area of the garden is 819 square meters.
