Rani needs to buy sod to cover his new backyard. His landscape design is graphed, and the yard has corners at (2, 20) (12, 20) (12, 5) and (2, 5) Solve for the area of his yard. (1 point)

Answer 1

To find the area of the yard, we need to calculate the area of the rectangle formed by the four corners.

The length of the yard is the difference between the x-coordinates of the two corners on the same side: 12 - 2 = 10.
The width of the yard is the difference between the y-coordinates of the two corners on the same side: 20 - 5 = 15.

Therefore, the area of the yard is: length x width = 10 x 15 = 150 square units.

So, the area of Rani's yard is 150 square units.
