Question

Help

Answer 1

I understand everything except for the garden part.

Answer 2

How do I find the area of the garden?

Answer 3

Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height

Answer 4

The formula is base x height ÷

Answer 5

2

Answer 6

but like the problem is I don't know which one is the base and which one is the height.

Answer 7

Also i'm not sure about the second triangle, the big one

Answer 8

It can be either in a right triangle and it would not matter.

Answer 9

Add the area of rectangle and the area of the big triangle and subtract the area of the small triangle to get the total area to be planted.

Answer 10

Yes, I'm aware of this.

Answer 11

But like, 16, 12, 20 ft are the measurements. i still don't understand completely.

Answer 12

Base height?

Answer 13

Same for the big triangle.

Answer 14

Ignore the 20 feet dimension as it is the length of the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle which you won't need.

You can choose either length to be the base or the height and you ill get the same answer as it would not matter in a right triangle. 1/2 * 16 * 12 is same as 1/2 * 12 * 16

Answer 15

what's a right triangle? lol (deadsrs)

Answer 16

A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.

Answer 17

also what's a hypotenuse

Answer 18

ah

Answer 19

The side opposite to the 90 degree angle is the hypotenuse.

Answer 20

What is the square in the triangle?

Answer 21

That indicates a 90 degree angle.

Answer 22

How would you measure that with a protractor?

Answer 23

Yes. But you don't have to. They tell you it is a 90 degree angle.

Answer 24

How do they tell you it's a 90 degree angle (these questions are serious I really don't know)

Answer 25

I just told you. That little square marking at the corner indicates it is a 90 degree angle.

Answer 26

So then, the big triangle is right angle, and it's a 90 degree angle also?

Answer 27

Both triangles have a 90 degree angle which makes both a right triangle.

Answer 28

I have to go now but be careful with the units here. Some of the lengths have an "m" next to them meaning meters. Some have "ft" next to them meaning feet. Convert every length to feet before finding the areas.

Answer 29

Ahh thank you so much I understand everything now :D bye .

Answer 30

Without the information you told me that I didn't know I wouldn't have been able to answer the question, right?

Answer 31

You are welcome. If you need unit conversion factors type meter in feet in Google and it will tell you the factor.

It would have been hard without this info.

Answer 32

yah, I agree with u the book that I'm doing didn't teach me that info that you have taught me, I guess I was just suppose to know it, like the prerequisites.
