1. A square garden has the end points listed below. Plot and label these points on the grid:
a. A (-7, 6)
b. B (-2, -6)
c. C (10, -1)
D (5, 11)
2. Connect the points to create Square ABCD.
3. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the side length, s, of Square ABCD in feet.
Area = a2 + b2 = c2 where c is the side length, s.
s =146 feet
4. Use the area formula, 𝐴 = 𝑠2, to find the area of Square ABCD.
The area of Square ABCD is 146 square feet.
Use the area formula, 𝐴 = 𝑠2, to find the area of Square ABCD.
I apologize for the confusion.
The area of Square ABCD would be calculated using the formula 𝐴 = 𝑠², where 𝑠 is the side length of the square.
In this case, the side length of Square ABCD is 146 feet, as you mentioned earlier. Therefore, the area would be calculated as follows:
𝐴 = (146 feet)²
= 146 feet × 146 feet
= 21,316 square feet
So, the area of Square ABCD is 21,316 square feet.
do we need to square that?
Apologies for the confusion once again. You are correct, in finding the area of a square, we do not need to square the side length.
Since the side length of Square ABCD is 146 feet, we can directly compute the area using the formula 𝐴 = 𝑠²:
𝐴 = (146 feet)²
= 146 feet × 146 feet
= 21,316 square feet
Therefore, the area of Square ABCD is indeed 21,316 square feet.
to we need to unsquare that?
No, there is no need to "unsquare" the area. The area of a square is always represented as a squared value because it is calculated by multiplying the side length by itself.
In this case, the area of Square ABCD is calculated as follows:
𝐴 = (146 feet)²
= 146 feet × 146 feet
= 21,316 square feet
So, the area of Square ABCD is 21,316 square feet.
do we need to unsquare it?
Apologies for the confusion once again. My previous response was incorrect.
To find the area of Square ABCD, you do not need to "unsquare" it. The area of a square is always represented as a squared value because it is calculated by multiplying the side length by itself.
In this case, the area of Square ABCD is calculated as follows:
𝐴 = (146 feet)²
= 146 feet × 146 feet
= 21,316 square feet
So, the area of Square ABCD is 21,316 square feet, and there is no need to "unsquare" it.
To plot the points on a grid, you can use a coordinate plane. The x-axis represents the horizontal direction, and the y-axis represents the vertical direction.
1a. Plot point A (-7, 6): Start at the origin (0,0) and go 7 units to the left on the x-axis, then 6 units up on the y-axis. Plot the point at (-7, 6).
1b. Plot point B (-2, -6): Start at the origin (0,0) and go 2 units to the left on the x-axis, then 6 units down on the y-axis. Plot the point at (-2, -6).
1c. Plot point C (10, -1): Start at the origin (0,0) and go 10 units to the right on the x-axis, then 1 unit down on the y-axis. Plot the point at (10, -1).
1d. Plot point D (5, 11): Start at the origin (0,0) and go 5 units to the right on the x-axis, then 11 units up on the y-axis. Plot the point at (5, 11).
2. Connect the points to create Square ABCD: Once you have plotted the points, you can use a straight edge or ruler to connect the points A, B, C, and D. This will form Square ABCD.
3. To find the side length of Square ABCD using the Pythagorean Theorem, you can use the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2. In this case, a and b are the horizontal and vertical distances between the points.
For example, the horizontal distance between points A and B is 7 units (|-7 - (-2)|), and the vertical distance between points A and B is 12 units (|6 - (-6)|). Applying the Pythagorean Theorem:
s^2 = 7^2 + 12^2
s^2 = 49 + 144
s^2 = 193
Taking the square root of both sides:
s = sqrt(193)
s ≈ 13.928 feet (rounded to three decimal places)
Therefore, the side length, s, of Square ABCD is approximately 13.928 feet.
4. To find the area of Square ABCD, you can use the formula A = s^2, where A is the area and s is the side length.
Using the side length we found in step 3:
A = (13.928)^2
A = 193.539984
Therefore, the area of Square ABCD is approximately 193.54 square feet (rounded to two decimal places).
