I was recently given the question; I hope you won't mind solving this:
A crop field measures 85x75 m
You can use any quantity and combination of sprinklers.
However, there are only three types
Sprinkler 1 has a radial range of 25m
Sprinkler 2 has a radial range of 20m
Sprinkler 3 has a radial range of 15m
A pipe costs $40 per metre, fully installed. The sprinklers must be connected to a water pipe that runs along the width of the field
Determine the best way to configure the sprinklers and find the cost of installing the irrigation and piping.
Design a scale model to test different combinations and the types of given sizes of water sprinklers.
THE SPRINKLER'S RADIALS MUST NOT OVERLAP AND MUST STAY WITHIN THE CROP FILED
Thank you!
