Exercise 24

A farmer owns a piece of land in the shape of an equilateral triangle, 200 m on a side, which is totally fenced in. He wishes to construct an additional fence parallel to the side fronting the road (Fig.) so that the area fronting the road takes up one-third of the total area. This area will be for Iris horses. On the remaining two-thirds he plans to construct his dream home. How far back from the road (shown as the distance h ) should the fence be located
