Step-by-step explanation:

The way that I would do it, would be to use the point distance formula to find the length of each side.

Distance formula: $\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2} (y2-y1) ^{2} }$

After you use this formula to find the length of all sides of the polygon, you would need to use the appropriate area formula to find the area of the polygon.

Area of Triangle: A= 1/2 base times height

Area of Rectangle: A= length times width

Area of Square: A= s^2 where s is the length of the side

Area of Parallelogram: A= base times height

Area of Trapezoid: A= 1/2 times height (base 1 + base 2) where base 1 and base 2 are the parallel sides

Area of Kite or Rhombus: A= 1/2 (diagonal 1 times diagonal 2)

Area of Regular Polygons: A= 1/2 (apothem times perimeter)

Cindy is designing a rectangular fountain in the middle of a courtyard. the rest of the courtyard will be covered in stone. The

I saw the image that should accompany the above problem.

Courtyard: Length=22 ft; Width = 12 ft
Fountain: Length = 6 ft; Width = ?

Area of the courtyard = 22 ft * 12 ft = 264 square feet
Part of the courtyard covered with stone has an area of 246 square feet.

Area of the fountain = 264 square feet - 246 feet = 18 square feet.

A) Width of the fountain.
Area of the fountain = Length * width
18 square feet = 6 ft * w
18 sq.ft / 6ft = w
3 ft = width

B.) Fraction of the area of the courtyard will be occupied by the fountain.

Area of the fountain: 18 square feet
Area of the courtyard: 264 square feet

18/264 = 3/44

18 ÷ 6 = 3
264 ÷ 6 = 44
