15. Enid and George hide a box in their garden. They make a map of the garden, using a scale of 1cm to represent 1m. They give the map to some friends together with the following clues.The box is nearer the end A of the hedge than the end C.The box is less than 6m away from the tree marked T.The box is nearer the garden wall AB than the hedge AC.On the map shown below, shade the region of the garden in which the box is hidden.
