Grasses are sold in pieces, and each piece is square shaped. The side of the square is 2 m. Jason buys 48 grass pieces to make a garden with the shortest border. What’s the length and width of the garden in meter.

Answer 1

To find the dimensions of the garden, we need to determine how many grass pieces will make up each border.

Since each grass piece is 2m long, there will be 24 pieces along each border. Therefore, the border will be 48m long on each side.

To find the dimensions of the garden, we need to subtract the length of two borders from the total number of grass pieces that Jason bought (48). This will give us the number of grass pieces that make up the length and width of the garden.

48 grass pieces in total - 48m for the length - 48m for the width = 0 grass pieces remaining for the garden.

Therefore, the length and width of the garden will both be 48m.
