Answer:

Dimension 1 = 12 x 8

Dimension 2 = 14 x 6

Chris should choose Dimension 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × width + 2 × length

                                         = 2(width + length)

Given:

  • perimeter = 40m

⇒ 40 = 2(width + length)

⇒ width + length = 20 m

Therefore, possible dimensions:

  • Dimension 1 = 12 x 8  (as 12 + 8 = 20)
  • Dimension 2 = 14 x 6  (as 14 + 6 = 20)

We need to calculate the area of both choices.  The choice with the greatest area will allow the most vegetables to be planted.

  • Area of Dimension 1 = 12 x 8 = 96 m²
  • Area of Dimension 2 = 14 x 6 = 84 m²

Therefore, Chris should choose Dimension 1 (12 x 8).
