Given:
Dimensions of Kendra's yard are 24.6 feet by 14.8 feet.
To find:
The area of her yard.
Solution:
Let as consider,
Length of yard = 24.6 ft
Width of yard = 14.8 ft
We know that,
Area of a rectangle = Length × Width
Using the above formula, we get the area of her yard.
Area of her yard is 364.08 ft² and without including the units ft², we get 364.08.
Therefore, the area of her yard is 364.08.
Below represents the proof that the quadrilateral QRST is a parallelogram
<h3>How to prove that QRST is a parallelogram?</h3>The coordinates are given as:
Q = (-1,-1)
R = (2,9)
S = (-4,5)
T = (-7,-5)
Calculate the length of each side using:
So, we have:
The above computations show that opposite sides are equal.
Next, we determine the slope of each side using:
So, we have:
The above computations show that opposite sides are parallel, because they have equal slope
Hence, the quadrilateral QRST is a parallelogram
