To find the area of Rani's yard, we need to calculate the area of the rectangle formed by the coordinates of the corners.
The width of the yard is the difference in x-coordinates: 12 - 2 = 10
The length of the yard is the difference in y-coordinates: 20 - 5 = 15
Therefore, the area of Rani's yard is:
Area = width x length
Area = 10 x 15
Area = 150 square units
So, the area of Rani's yard is 150 square units.
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.
