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 can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

A = length * width

In this case, the length of the yard is the difference between the x-coordinates of the two corners along the x-axis, and the width is the difference between the y-coordinates of the two corners along the y-axis.

Length = 12 - 2 = 10
Width = 20 - 5 = 15

Area = 10 * 15 = 150 square units

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