Weekly Maths Problem

Don’t forget to write out the problem at the top of the page, date the work and show all your workings out (even the wrong answers) and then file the evidence in your folder! You must give an explanation of the method and the answer here.

Tommy has measured the area of the garden that needs new grass seed, he knows the total is 150 square meters and one of the sides is 15m. But he has forgotten what the other side measured. What method could he use to find the missing measurement and what is the missing measurement?

You can share your answers here in the forum on the website or with me as I visit during the week. Remember you need to show your workings out to get the maximum points.
