Question

A diagram showing a neighborhood park is plotted on the coordinate plane. Each unit on the coordinate plane represents 1 yard. Find the PERIMETER and the AREA.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

The length of the left sloping line

= √ (5^2 + 7^2) = √74.

The right sloping line

= √(5^2 + 5^2) = √50.

So the perimeter:

= √74 + √50 + 2 + 2 * 4 + 14

= 39.67 to nearest hundreth.

Area = 1/2 * 5 * 7 + 2*5 + 1/2 * 5 * 5 + 4*14

= 96.
