Represented below are the pastures of three neighbors that all surround a triangular watering hole. Each neighbor’s pasture is square as shown in the picture. The side length of the watering hole is given in each picture. The owner of the yellow field thinks the area of his field is the same as the areas of the other two fields combined. For each picture decide whether or not the owner of the yellow field is correct and explain why. 2. 1. 3yd 3yd 5yd 4yd 7yd 5yd 4. 3. 3yd 3yd 3yd 5yd 5yd 3yd 5. 6. 4yd √40 yd 6yd 2yd √32yd 4yd 7. What do you notice about the watering hole when the owner of the yellow field was correct? 9. The area of the yellow pasture is the same size as the area of the other two pastures put together. What is the side length of the watering hole (solve for c)? 3yd c 3yd Name:&________________________________________________&Date:&_____________&Class:&___________&
