Part 1: A farmer bought 30 feet of fencing to build a circular pen for his pigs. What is the diameter of the pen he can build with 30 feet of fencing?
The farmer also needs to buy a certain type of seed for the grass in the pen. Each bag of seed can cover 50 square feet of land. How many bags of seed will the farmer need to buy?
Part 2:
You just bought a plot of land measuring 35 feet by 50 feet to build a house on. Use the graph paper above to design one story of the house following the specifications below.
•The maximum area of the house is 1500 square feet.
•The house must include at least a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and a bedroom.
•At least one room must not be a rectangle. (This can be another shape, or a composite shape made of two rectangles.)
What is the total area of your house? What is the area of each room in the house?
