Answer:
The largest sized square is 22 meters side that Kofi can divide his rectangular plot into.
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimensions of the plot are 24 m by 40 m
AREA OF RECTANGLE = LENGTH x WIDTH
So, the area of the plot = 24 m x 40 m = 960 sq meters
So, the area of the rectangular plot = 960 sq meters
Now, AREA OF THE SQUARE = [tex](Side)^{2}[/tex]
Now, If we divide the area in to two equal parts,
Area of each square part = 960/ 2 = 480 sq. meter
Or, [tex](Side)^{2}[/tex] = 480
Also, [tex](22)^{2}[/tex] = 484 ~ 480
Or each side of the square is approximately 22 meters.
Hence, the largest sized square is 22 meters side that kofi can divide his rectangular plot into.
