Question 383109: This one has twisted my mind, can anyone explain?
Essay: Show all work. A gardener wants to create a triangular garden in the shape of a right triangle with shortest side length x – 6y ft. and the middle length side x + 6y ft. What is an algebraic expression for the area of the garden? Be sure to multiply this out and express in simplest correct mathematical form, including units.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A gardener wants to create a triangular garden in the shape of a right triangle
with shortest side length x – 6y ft. and the middle length side x + 6y ft.
What is an algebraic expression for the area of the garden?
:
The area of a right triangle A = .5*b*h
where
b = (x+6y)
h = (x-6y)
:
A = .5*(x+6y)(x-6y)
FOIL
A = .5(x^2 - 36y^2
A = .5x^2 - 18y^2 ft
