QuestionA farmer has 150 feet of fence to enclose 1125 sq ft with squares of sides xx and yy. Find xx and yy. x= x= y= y=

Studdy Solution
Substitute x=15x =15 into the first equation to find the corresponding value for yy.
y=1504153=30y = \frac{150 -4*15}{3} =30So, the solutions are (x,y)=(33,15)(x, y) = (33,15) and (x,y)=(15,30)(x, y) = (15,30). The farmer can either make the big square with side length33 feet and the small square with side length15 feet, or the big square with side length15 feet and the small square with side length30 feet.
