Concept explainers
The boundary between the Johnson and the Zhang properties is shown in Figure 12.73 The Johnsons and the Zhangs would like to change this boundary so that the new boundary is one straight line segment and so that each family still has the same amount of land area, Describe a precise way to redraw the boundary between the two properties. Explain your reasoning. Hint: Consider shearing the triangle ABC
