1. Count the number of squares inside Field A. This is the area of Square A in acres. Write it below: (1 point)
Area = ____16______ acres
2. Count the number of squares inside Field B. This is the area of Square B in acres. Write it below: (1 point)
Area = ____9______ acres
3. SHOW YOUR WORK: Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the area of Field C in acres: (2 points)
Let's assume the length of one side of Field C is x acres.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem:
x² + x² = 13²
2x² = 169
x² = 169/2
x² = 84.5
Therefore, the length of one side of Field C is √84.5 acres.
The area of Field C is (√84.5)² acres.
Area = 84.5 acres
