A Gardener wants to create a triangular garden in the shape of a right triangle with the shortest side length of x-4y ft. and the middle length side x+6y ft. What is an algebraic expression for the area of the garden? Be sure to multiply ths out and express in simplest correct mathematical form, including units.
Answer provided by our tutors
The area of the right triangle = 1/2 * shortest side * middle length side
So area = 1/2 * (x-4y)*(x+6y)
= 0.5x^2 +xy -12y^2
