Figure 12.16 shows the floor plan for a modern, one-story house. Bob calculates the area of the floor of the house this way: 36 x 72- 18 x 18= 2268 square feet. What must Bob have in mind? Explain why Bob's method is a legitimate way to calculate the floor area of the house, and explain clearly how one or both of the moving and additivity principles on area apply in this case.

I need to buy some lumber to make forms for a concrete walkway I’m going to build around a rectangular garden bed (17 feet by 20 feet). I want the walkway to be 3 feet wide. Of course, I will need lumber for both the inside and outside perimeter of the walkway; how many feet of lumber will I need?
There are four primary strategies for determining the area of two-dimensional figures and shapes. Explain each strategy. Use an example for each. a. counting square units b. subdividing the shape into pieces, finding the areas of the pieces and adding the areas together c. enclosing the shape in a rectangle, finding the area outside of the shape but inside the rectangle and subtracting d. using a formula.

Steve plants his garden, but just as it begins to thrive, deer start eating all of the fruit and vegetables. He decides to try to build an enclosure by hanging clear plastic over ropes attached to poles down the center of the garden. A cross-section of the ropes forms two right triangles with each pole. Each section of rope is 18 feet long. The distance from the base of the pole to each stake in the ground is 2/3 the height of the pole. What is the height of each pole? What's the height of the pole in feet and inches? Will this be enough to cover the width of Rashid’s garden if the garden is 10 feet by 20 feet?
