Answer:
Part 5
• Triangle
,
• Area = 21 square units
Part 6
• Right Triangle
,
• Same Area
Explanation:
The corners of the vegetable garden are: (0,0), (6,0), and (3, 7).
The shape is dawwn on the coordinate plane below:
• The shape of the gaden is a triangle.
The triangle has the following dimensions:
• Base = 6 units
,
• Height = 7 units
[tex]\begin{gathered} Area=\frac{1}{2}\times Base\times Height \\ =\frac{1}{2}\times6\times7 \\ =21\text{ square units} \end{gathered}[/tex]
The area of the gar enis 21 square units.
Part 6
If Madeline uses (6,7) rather than (3,7), we have::
• The shape of the garden is now a right triangle.
,
• However, the aeas of the garden will remain the same since the height does not change.
