Joannies garden is in the shape of a square and has an area of 100 sq ft. Zacharys garden is rectangular. Its length is 3 times as long as Joannies garden but only half as wide. Zachary garden has an area of ______ sq.ft.
Joanie's garden is 10 ft by 10 ft.
Zach's:
A = (3 * 10) * (1/2 * 10)
A = ?
60 or 50??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
No.
o
What is 3 times 10?
What is 1/2 of 10?
Multiply those two answers together.
To find the area of Zachary's garden, we need to know the dimensions of the garden.
We are given that Joannie's garden is a square with an area of 100 sq ft. Since the area of a square garden can be calculated as the square of its side length, we can find the side length of Joannie's garden by taking the square root of 100.
√100 = 10
So, Joannie's garden has a side length of 10 ft.
Now, let's find the dimensions of Zachary's garden.
We are told that the length of Zachary's garden is 3 times as long as Joannie's garden. Therefore, the length of Zachary's garden is 3 * 10 ft = 30 ft.
We are also told that the width of Zachary's garden is half as wide as Joannie's garden. Since Joannie's garden is a square, the width is equal to the side length. Therefore, the width of Zachary's garden is 10 ft / 2 = 5 ft.
Now, we can find the area of Zachary's garden by multiplying the length by the width.
Area of Zachary's garden = Length * Width = 30 ft * 5 ft = 150 sq ft.
Therefore, Zachary's garden has an area of 150 sq ft.
