Carrie started at the southeast corner of

Answer 1

Answer:

9600 sq. yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carrie walked north 240 yards, turned and walked west 80 yards, and then turned and  walked diagonally back to where she started.

Therefore, the path traced by Carrie is a right triangle with base and heights are 240 yards and 80 yards.

Now, the area of the triangle traced by Carrie while walking is

= $\frac{1}{2}\times \textrm {Base}\times \textrm {Height}$

= $\frac{1}{2} \times 240 \times 80 = 9600$ sq. yards. (Answer)
