You can find the area of Bonnue's backyard by comparing the hypotenuse of the garden to the hypotenuse of the back yard. If the hypotenuse of the garden is 10 (with the side lengths being 6, 8 and 10 - the longest is always the hypotenuse) and the hypotenuse of the back yard is 30, this is a scale factor of 3 (3 times longer).
This means the other two sides would also be 3 times longer.
6 yards x 3 = 18
8 yards x 3 = 24
To find the area using these dimensions, you will use the formula for finding the area of a triangle.
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2 x 18 x 24
A = 216 square yards
The area of the backyard is 216 square yards.
6 goes into both 42 and 108 (9x12 so you are working with equal measurements) and you get 7/18
