A city is planning to plant a certain number of trees for every square meter of the triangle shaped park. Compose a rectangle to find the area of the park. What is the area of the park in square meters?

Question

The triangle shaped park is 8 m by 25.3 m.

Answer 1

To find the area of the triangular park, we first need to find the area of the rectangle that completely encompasses the triangle.

Rectangle dimensions:
Length = 25.3 m
Width = 8 m

Area of rectangle = Length x Width
Area of rectangle = 25.3 m x 8 m
Area of rectangle = 202.4 square meters

Now that we have the area of the rectangle, we can find the area of the triangular park by considering it to be half of the rectangle (since it's a triangle inscribed within a rectangle).

Area of park = 0.5 x Area of rectangle
Area of park = 0.5 x 202.4 square meters
Area of park = 101.2 square meters

Therefore, the area of the triangle-shaped park is 101.2 square meters.
