I guess you are really curious about the answer even after the PSLE is over. I actually do not expect any more P6 questions so soon… 🙂
(a) The vertical fences on the left and right = 36 + 36 = 72
The the horizontal fences = 27 + 27 + 2AB = 54 + 2AB
So 2AB + 54 + 72 = 177
2AB = 177- 54 – 72 = 51
AB = 51/2 = 25.5m
(b) Total area = 876
Bottom plot of land = 27 x 12 = 324
Top plot of land 25.5 x 12 = 306
Remainder = Middle plot of land = 876 – 324 – 306 = 246
246 / 12 = 20.5
Perimeter = 36 + 36 + 27 + 25.5 + (25.5-20.5) + ( 27 – 20.5) = 136m
