- The scale is 1 square = 1.5m.
- Car 1 measures 3000mm x 2400mm, which is 3m x 2.4m. On the grid, this is 2 squares by 1.6 squares.
- Car 2 measures 3800mm x 1700mm, which is 3.8m x 1.7m. On the grid, this is approximately 2.53 squares by 1.13 squares.
- To ensure 1000mm (1m) space around each car, add 1m to each dimension: Car 1 becomes 4m x 3.4m (2.67 squares x 2.27 squares), and Car 2 becomes 4.8m x 2.7m (3.2 squares x 1.8 squares).
- The garage must accommodate both cars side by side with 1m space around them. Total width required: 4m + 4.8m + 1m (space between) = 9.8m (6.53 squares). Total depth required: max(3.4m, 2.7m) + 1m (front/back) = 4.4m (2.93 squares).
- Perimeter of the garage: 2 × (9.8m + 4.4m) = 28.4m.
- Area of the garage: 9.8m × 4.4m = 43.12m².
