Question 3
Square QRST has the following vertices:
Q(2,8), R(-4,8), S(-4, 2), and T(2,2).
Triangle QTU has the vertices:
Q(2,8), T (2,2), and U(6,2).
What is the area of the quadrilateral formed by the
square and the triangle?
Solution #3
SQUARE: One side of the square measures 6 units.
Q(2,8) and R (-4, 8) The y-values are the same, so I added
the absolute values of 2 and -4.
|2|= 2
|-4| = 4
2 + 4= 6
Area of square QRST: 6 x 6 = 36 sq. units
The height of the triangle is 6 and the base is 4
units.
TRIANGLE: Area of Triangle QTU: 6 x 4 / 2= 12 sq. units
36 = 12 = 48
ANSWER: 48 sq. units
