Question 550347: Essay: Show all work. A gardener wants to create a triangular garden in the shape of a right triangle with shortest side length x – 8y 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. Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Area of right triangle = 1/2* leg1 * leg2
Area=(x-8y)(x+6y)
=x^2-8xy+6xy-48y^2
=x^2-2xy +48y^2 ft^2
