To find the area of Field C using the Pythagorean Theorem, we need to know the lengths of the two sides of the triangle formed by the sides of Field C.
Assuming the horizontal side of Field C is x acres and the vertical side is y acres, we can set up the following equation:
x^2 + y^2 = Field C^2
However, we do not have enough information to solve for x and y. The Pythagorean Theorem can only be used to find the length of one side of a right triangle when the lengths of the other two sides are known.
Therefore, without additional information, we cannot calculate the area of Field C.
1. Count the number of squares inside Field A. This is the area of Square A in acres. Write it below: (1 point)
Area = _________ acres
2. Count the number of squares inside Field B. This is the area of Square B in acres. Write it below: (1 point)
Area = __________ acres
3. SHOW YOUR WORK: Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the area of Field C in acres:
