Having just recently won the lottery, you decide to build a summer resort nestled deep in a forest.
However, being a very eco-friendly person, you decide not to cut down any of the trees that grow

 and 
 
 describing the location
of each tree (where 
 is the bottom leftmost point on the map and 
 is the top rightmost
point on the map).
Note: for 20% of the marks for this question, you may assume that , and for 45% of the
marks for this question, 
.
