Mrs. Aguirre is going to plant a rectangular garden in her rectangular backyard, as 80 ft.

6 f.

(15 ft.

40 ft.

Yard

Garden

75 ft.

What is the approximate area of the garden?

Ft

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached we can see that the width of the garden is 6 ft. The length of the garden is the slanting side of the triangle (hypotenuse).

Let x be the length of the garden. The height of the triangle = 40 ft - 15 ft = 25 ft.

The base of the triangle = 80 ft - 75 ft = 5 ft.

The length of the garden is gotten using Pythagoras:

x² = 25² + 5²

x² = 650

x = 25.5 ft.

The area of the garden = length * width = 25.5 * 6 = 153 ft²

Hence the approximate area = 160 ft²

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
