Please help!! As part of a landscaping project, put in a flower bed measuring 10 feet by 20 feet. Surround the bed with a uniform border of low-growing plants.
a. Write a polynomial that describes the area of the uniform border that surrounds the flower bed.
b. The low growing plants surrounding the flower bed require 1 square foot each when mature. If there are 216 of these plants, how wide a strip around the flower bed should be prepared for the border?
