Table designs
Debbie is an artisan who manufactures tables with
stained-glass tops. The dynamic figures below show the 7 basic designs in
Debbie's catalog.
The owners of a new cafe ordered 21 tables, three executions in each of the seven designs,
all 1x1 meter. Here are their specifications:
- In one table the green and the red areas are
equal.
- In one table the green area is twice the size of the red
area.
- In one table the red area is twice the size of the green area.

For each of the 7 designs:
|
|
Describe the green amd red areas using functions.
Indicate which variable you chose.
| |
|
Determine which of the three specified executions are
feasible.

For each of the executions that are feasible, describe the dimensions
of the individual pieces of glass (squares, rectangles, triangles) from
which the table is assembled.
