Christina plotted the shape of her garden on graph paper. she estimates that she will get about 15 carrots from each square unit. she plans to use the entire garden for carrots. about many carrot can she expect to grow explain

the shape of christina’s garden is a rectangle and trapezoid. The rectangle has a dimensions of 4 units by 2 units. The trapezoid upper base is 8 units and the lower base is 4 units and the height is 2 units

Area of the garden = area rectangle + area trapezoid

A = (LW) + 0.5( base1 + base2)(h)

A = ( 4 x 2) + 0.5 ( 8 + 4) (2)

A = 20 sq units

Number of carrots = 20 sq units x 15 carrots/ sq units

= 300 carrots

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
