Sagot :
The area of the lawn is 2.5 times greater than the area of the garden.
What is Heron's formula in math?
Heron's formula for finding the area of a triangle in terms of the lengths of its sides.
In symbols, if a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides: Area = √s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c) where s is half the perimeter, or (a + b + c)/2.
Given vertices W(-100,-70), X(-100,0),Y(0,0), and Z(-60,-70) of a backyard,
We have to find distances WX, XY, YZ, ZW and XZ:
1. WX= √(-100+100)²+(0+70)²
=√0+4900
=70
2. XY= √(0+100)²+(0-0)²
=100 units.
3. YZ= √(-60-0)²+(-70-0)²
=√3600+4900
= √8500= 10√85
4. ZW= √(-60+100)²+(-70+70)²
=√40²+0
=40 units
5. XZ= √(-60+100)²+(-70+0)²
=√40²+70²
=√6500=10√65
Then:
1. the area of WXZ
[tex]\sqrt{(70+40+10\sqrt{65}) /2 * ({70+40+10\sqrt{65}) /2 -70* {(70+40+10\sqrt{65}) /2 -40[/tex]*[tex]\sqrt{(70+40+10\sqrt{65}) /2 -10\sqrt{65}[/tex]
=1400 feet²
Area of XYZ= [tex]\sqrt{(100+10\sqrt{65}+10\sqrt{85}) /2 * (100+10\sqrt{65}+10\sqrt{85}) /2 -100* {(100+10\sqrt{85}+10\sqrt{65}) /2[/tex]-[tex]\sqrt{-10\sqrt{85}*(10+10\sqrt{85} +10\sqrt{65}) /2 -10\sqrt{65}[/tex]
=3500 feet²
Then, ar(WXZ)/ ar (XYZ)= 3500/1400=2.5 times.
