A fence is to enclose a lot with area 100 square meters. The front of the fence (considered the east-west side) is bounded by a road and requires no fence. Fencing for the back (also the east-west side) is Sm per meter. Both north-south sides cost $2 per meter. (b) How much longer are the east-west sides (i.e., what is the ratio east-west lengths over the north-south lengths)? Hint it may be helpful to first attempt the problem with a specific value of m, say for example m 2 for scratch work, to see a pattern for general m
