    Sculpture1 base area

    83.3cm = 0.833m

    1790mm = 1.79m

    0.833 * 1.79

    1.49 m²

    Sculpture 2 base area

    1.3 * 0.6

    0.78 m²

    1.49 > 0.78 Therefor

    Sculpture 1 has the larger base

    -----------------------

    Grass A area

    6 * 3

    18ft²

    Grass B area

    1.5yd = 3ft

    30inches = 2.5ft

    3 * 2.5

    7.5ft²

    18 > 7.5 therefor

    Grass Area A is larger

    --------------------

    Put the largest sculpture in the larger area

    Sculpture 1 (two birds) goes in Grass area A <–––––

    Sculpture 2(tree) goes in Grass area B <––––––
