Part A:
Sara is planting a garden for her father this spring. Sara is following the directions her father left her to
make the garden, but he did not give her all the information.
Part A: The map has actual measurements given in feet. She knows that the total width of field is 35 ft
and the length is 50 ft. She also knows:
Verify that the area of each field adds up to the total area.
From previous years, Sara knows that she can grow 0.8 pumpkins /ft2. She also knows that each
pumpkin can sell for between $4 and $5 each, depending on the size. If Sara grows a full crop
of pumpkins and she can sell all of them at the market, determine the minimum and maximum
money she could make.

Part B:
Sara’s father wants her to build a second garden in an another location, but the second garden
will be much bigger. However, Sara has a problem; her father did not measure the garden in feet.
He used an unit of measure called a Surveyor’s Chain. The directions he has for Sara are in terms
of x, which is the length of one chain.
Sara has a list of information she must use. You must help Sara Algebra & Number (10C)
General Outcome: Develop
label her drawing. algebraic reasoning and number
sense.
The length of a Chain is represented by x
Specific Outcome 4
Demonstrate an understanding of the
The total width of the field is 2x + 8 (two chains plus 8 feet) multiplication of polynomial
expressions (limited to monomials,
binomials and trinomials), concretely,
The total length of the field is 3x + 2 pictorially and symbolically.
Verify that the sum of all the field areas equals to the total area of the entire field.
