In my bungalow in Bangalore I have a beautiful rose garden.
The four sides of the garden are
known to be 20, 16, 12 and 10 rods. And it is also known that it has the
greatest possible area for those sides.
Can you find the area?
Answer: Half the sum of the side is 29 and from this we deduct the
sides in turn, which gives us 9,13,17,19, which when multiplied together make
37791. The square root of this number is 194.4.
194.4 square rods will be the
answer.
