The Royal Contest

The king wants to know how many people he can fit in the room that you design for this event. The safety inspector, an expert in occupancy, has revealed that each person requires at least 4 square feet (4 feet2) of space, something you should keep in mind while designing the floor plan. The king, as demanding as he is, wants you to present 2 different floor plans that can fit different numbers of guests. Here is the challenge: each design must have a total perimeter of exactly 40 feet.

Use the geoboard on your left to design your floor plan.

Note: Each square on the grid is equal to 1 unit long by 1 unit wide.

In this exercise, 1 unit = 2 meters
