Answer:
48in²
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the area of a triangle you first divide the base by 2 then multiply it by the height
<span>Length = l</span>
<span>
Width = w</span>
<span>
Perimeter = p = 100
</span>
<span>Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+w)</span>
<span>
100 = 2 (4w + w)</span>
<span>
100 = 2(5w)</span>
<span>
100 = 10w</span>
<span>
100/10 = w</span>
<span>
10 = w</span>
<span>
w = 10
Area of rectangle = length * width</span>
<span>
a = l*w</span>
<span>
a = 4w*w</span>
<span>
a = 4w^2............(1)</span>
<span>
Put the value of w in (1)</span>
<span>
a = 4(10)^2</span>
<span>
a= 4(100)</span>
<span>
a = 400 yd^2</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of the polygon is equal to the area of a square plus the area of four congruent triangles
so
![A=b^2+4[\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3Db%5E2%2B4%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%28b%29%28h%29%5D)
where
substitute
![A=8^2+4[\frac{1}{2}(8)(4)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D8%5E2%2B4%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%288%29%284%29%5D)
