To cover a garden path a landscape designer plans to cover a walkway with parallelogram shaped paving stones. Construct a rectangle to find the area covered by 4 paving stones in square inches
To find the area covered by 4 parallelogram shaped paving stones, we first need to construct a rectangle that encompasses all 4 paving stones. Let's assume the 4 paving stones are arranged in a pattern where they form a rectangle.
Let's assume the length of the rectangle (L) is 10 inches and the width of the rectangle (W) is 6 inches.
The area of the rectangle is given by:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 10 inches x 6 inches
Area = 60 square inches
Therefore, the area covered by 4 parallelogram shaped paving stones in square inches is 60 square inches.
