A lot has a frontage along a road. The other sides, which are both perpendicular to the road are 90m and 60m respectively. It is desired to subdivide the lot into two parts by another perpendicular line to the road such that the area of the lot that adjoins the 90m side is equal to 1/3 of the whole area. Determine the length of the dividing line.

Your answer
A lot has a frontage along a road. The
other sides, which are both
perpendicular to the road are 90m
and 60m respectively. It is desired to
subdivide the lot into two parts by
another perpendicular line to the
road such that the area of the lot that
adjoins the 90m side is equal to 1/3 of
the whole area. Determine the length
of the dividing line.
Your answer
A survey sets up a transit at point P,
which is the inner portion of a four
sided tract of land ABCD, and read
the bearings and measures the
distances, as follows:
