Jamal drew a blueprint of a playscape that he wants to install in the backyard for his kids on a coordinate grid. The overall space of the playscape will be rectangular. Jamal will form a border around the space with pavers and he will cover the space with small pebbles before he installs the equipment. The coordinates of the rectangle on the blueprint are (-5, 6) , (7, 6) , (-5, -3) , (7, -3) Each unit on the coordinate grid represents 2 feet. What is the area of the playscape space, in square feet? (1 point) Responses 42 Feet 42 Feet 432 Feet 432 Feet 108 Feet 108 Feet 216 Feet
To calculate the area of the playscape space, we need to find the length and width of the rectangle formed by the coordinates given.
Length = 7 - (-5) = 7 + 5 = 12 units = 12 * 2 feet = 24 feet
Width = 6 - (-3) = 6 + 3 = 9 units = 9 * 2 feet = 18 feet
Area = Length * Width
Area = 24 feet * 18 feet
Area = 432 square feet
Therefore, the area of the playscape space is 432 square feet.
