To calculate the area of the playscape space, we need to find the length and width of the rectangle formed by the coordinates given.
Length = 7 - (-5) = 7 + 5 = 12 units = 12 * 2 feet = 24 feet
Width = 6 - (-3) = 6 + 3 = 9 units = 9 * 2 feet = 18 feet
Area = Length * Width
Area = 24 feet * 18 feet
Area = 432 square feet
Therefore, the area of the playscape space is 432 square feet.
Jamal drew a blueprint of a playscape that he wants to install in the backyard for his kids on a coordinate grid. The overall space of the playscape will be rectangular. Jamal will form a border around the space with pavers and he will cover the space with small pebbles before he installs the equipment. The coordinates of the rectangle on the blueprint are (-5, 6) , (7, 6) , (-5, -3) , (7, -3) Each unit on the coordinate grid represents 2 feet. What is the area of the playscape space, in square feet? (1 point) Responses 42 Feet 42 Feet 432 Feet 432 Feet 108 Feet 108 Feet 216 Feet
