Kerry wants to build a small rectangular deck on the back of his house. The area of the deck will be 80 square feet. One dimension will be 10 feet.
Use the point on the grid as a starting point and plot line segments on the grid to create a scale drawing of the deck where 1 unit represents 2 feet.
Note: Draw each line segment by clicking to plot the endpoints of the line segment.
1. Start at point A (0,0) on the grid.
2. Plot a line segment extending to the right from point A with a length of 5 units (representing 10 feet). This line segment represents one dimension of the deck.
3. Plot a line segment extending upwards from the endpoint of the previous line segment, also with a length of 5 units (representing 10 feet).
4. Connect the endpoints of the two line segments with two perpendicular line segments to complete the rectangle.
5. The final drawing should represent a small rectangular deck with one dimension of 10 feet and an area of 80 square feet.
