Question

Find the Area of the Garden (Must show work!!!)

Answer 1

• 162 ft²

Explanation:

The missing side of the garden is the hypotenuse of a triangle with legs:

• (80 - 70) = 10 ft and (40 - 15) = 25 ft

The length of the side is:

• 
  `√(10^2+ 25^2) = √(725)` ≈ 27 ft

The area of the garden is:

• A = 27*6 = 162 ft²
