• The shape of the gaden is a triangle.

The triangle has the following dimensions:

• Base = 6 units

,

• Height = 7 units

`\begin{gathered} Area=(1)/(2)* Base* Height \\ =(1)/(2)*6*7 \\ =21\text{ square units} \end{gathered}`

The area of the gar enis 21 square units.

Part 6

If Madeline uses (6,7) rather than (3,7), we have::

• The shape of the garden is now a right triangle.
