Carpenter's Problem - task
Lisa decided to build a trunk with a square base and a height of 50 centimeters. The cost of wood is $4 per square meter. Considering her $8 budget, Lisa must decide about dimensions of the trunk that she can built with a lid or without it.
Construct equations, solve it and help Lisa determine the dimensions of the trunk she can build.
Find the solutions of the equations:
- Using a graphic representation
- Using a value table
- Compare the various solutions you obtained using the methods listed above, as well as the solution you can obtain using the dynamic figure (for a trunk without a lid).
