5. Edging a Planter A woman wants to make a small planter and surround it with edging material. She is deciding between two designs. Design 1: A square planter Design 2: A circular planter Edging material costs $3 a foot for the straight variety, which she would use for Design 1, and $4 a foot for the flexible variety, which she would use for Design 2. (a) If she decides on a perimeter of 24 ft, which design would give her the larger planting area? (b) If she decides to spend $120 on edging material, which design would give her the larger planting area?
