The city is planning to plant a certain number of trees for every square meter to f a triangle- shaped park. Compose a rectangle to find the area of the park. What is the area of the park in square meters?
8 m Height
25.3 m Length
To find the area of the park, we need to first calculate the area of the rectangle that can fit inside the triangle-shaped park.
Area of a rectangle = length x width
Area of rectangle = 25.3m x 8m
Area of rectangle = 202.4 square meters
Since the park is triangle-shaped, the area of the triangle is equal to half the area of the rectangle.
Area of the park = 0.5 x 202.4 square meters
Area of the park = 101.2 square meters
Therefore, the area of the park is 101.2 square meters.
