Question

Sierra has enough fencing to make three chicken coops shown each has the same perimeter which has the greatest area?

Answer 1

Answer:

Top left triangle has the greatest area

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle:

area = base × height / 2

a = bh/2

Top Left Triangle:

a = 6 × 5.2 / 2

a = 31.2 / 2

a = 15.6

Top Right Triangle:

a = 8 × 2.9 / 2

a = 23.2 / 2

a = 11.6

Bottom Left Triangle:

a = 2 × 7.9 / 2

a = 15.8 / 2

a = 7.9

Compare areas:

15.6 > 11.6 > 7.9
