4. a rectangular lawn is 10m by 24m. in mowing it a man starts by going right round the perimeter and then continues in the same direction spiralling into the centre. find the dimentions of the rectangle left when exactly half the area has been cut. assuming for simplicity that this occurs exactly as a circuit is completed.
