3. SHOW YOUR WORK: Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the area of Field C in acres: (2 points)
To use the Pythagorean theorem, we need to know the lengths of the two sides of the triangle formed by the two squares in field C. Let's call one of the sides x and the other side y.
We know that x^2 + y^2 = c^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Using the information given, we know that one side of the square in field C is 12 acres, which means one side of the triangle is sqrt(12) acres.
Since the triangle is a right triangle, the other side of the triangle is also sqrt(12) acres.
Plugging these values into the Pythagorean theorem, we get:
(x^2) + (y^2) = (sqrt(12))^2 + (sqrt(12))^2
x^2 + y^2 = 12 + 12
x^2 + y^2 = 24
Therefore, the area of field C is 24 acres.
NO FILDE A IS 16 AND B IS 6 NOW FIND OUT C ALSO ITS 4840 SQ YARDS
Apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate the area of Field C using the Pythagorean theorem.
Since we are given the area of Field C in square yards, we need to convert it to acres. There are 4840 square yards in 1 acre.
Area of Field C = 4840 square yards / 4840 = 1 acre
Now, let's find the sides of the right triangle formed by the two squares in Field C.
Let's assume one side of the square is x, and the other side is y. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the diagonal of the square, which is the side of the bigger square.
We are given that the area of Square C is 1 acre, so the side of Square C is sqrt(1) = 1 acre.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have the equation:
x^2 + y^2 = 1^2
We are also given that the side of the smaller square is 4 yards. So we can set up another equation:
x + y = 4
Using these two equations, we can solve for x and y.
Solving the second equation for y, we get:
y = 4 - x
Substituting this value of y in the first equation, we have:
x^2 + (4 - x)^2 = 1
Expanding and simplifying:
x^2 + 16 - 8x + x^2 = 1
2x^2 - 8x + 15 = 0
Using the quadratic formula, we can find the values of x:
x = (-(-8) ± sqrt((-8)^2 - 4*2*15)) / (2*2)
x = (8 ± sqrt(64 - 120)) / 4
x = (8 ± sqrt(-56)) / 4
Since we're looking for real solutions, we can see that the equation has no real solutions. Therefore, there is no possible configuration for the sides of the squares in Field C that satisfy the given conditions.
To find the area of Field C using the Pythagorean Theorem, we need to know the lengths of the sides of the square. Let's say the length of one side is 'a'.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we have the equation:
a^2 + a^2 = c^2
Here, 'c' represents the length of the hypotenuse, which is the diagonal of the square.
Simplifying the equation, we have:
2a^2 = c^2
To find the value of 'a', we can divide both sides of the equation by 2:
a^2 = (c^2)/2
Now, let's assume the length of the diagonal 'c' is 10 feet (or any other measured unit you are working with).
Plugging in this value, we have:
a^2 = (10^2)/2
a^2 = 100/2
a^2 = 50
Taking the square root of both sides, we find:
a = √50
Simplifying the square root, we get:
a ≈ 7.07
Now, to find the area of Field C, we square the length of one side:
Area of Field C = a^2
Area of Field C = (7.07)^2
Area of Field C ≈ 49.99 acres (rounded to two decimal places)
So, the area of Field C is approximately 49.99 acres.
