What is the approximate area of the garden?
1 answer:
Answer:
Option D
Step-by-step explanation:
By applying Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABC,
(Hypotenuse)²= (Leg 1)² + (Leg 2)²
AC² = AB² + BC²
AC² = (40 - 15)² + (80 - 75)²
AC² = (25)² + 5²
AC² = 650
AC = √650
AC = 25.495 ft
Since, area of a rectangle = Length × Width
Therefore, area of the garden = 25.495 × 6
= 152.97
≈ 153 ft²
Since, 150 is very close to 153, approximate area of the rectangular garden is 150 ft².
Option D is the answer.

well, the assumption is that is a rectangle, namely it has two equal pairs, so we can just find the length of one of the pairs to get the dimensions.
hmmmm let's say let's get the length of the segment at (-1,-3), (1,3) for its length
and
the length of the segment at (-1, -3), (-4, -2) for its width
