Based on the calculations, the area of a rectangle to the nearest hundredth is equal to 1143.92 ft².
<h3>How to calculate the area of a triangle?</h3>Mathematically, the area of a triangle can be calculated by using this formula:
Area = 1/2 × b × h
<u>Where:</u>
- b represents the base area.
- h represents the height.
By drawing a line between the points representing wicket 3 and wicket 9, we can logically deduce that wicket 2 forms a perpendicular bisector. Thus, the distance between the points representing wicket 3 and wicket 9 is given by:
Distance = 1/2 × 36.77
Distance = 36.77/2
Distance = 18.39 ft.
For the height of this triangle, we would apply Pythagorean's theorem:
h² = 25.02² - 18.39²
h² = 626.0004 - 338.1921
h² = 287.8083
h = √287.8083
h = 16.97 ft.
Area of triangle = 1/2 × b × h
Area of triangle = 1/2 × 36.77 × 16.97
Area of triangle = 311.99 ft².
For area of the rectangle, we have:
Mathematically, the area of a rectangle can be calculated by using this formula;
Area = LW
Area = 36.77 × 31.11
Area = 1143.92 ft².
