Your family is installing a new square pool in the backyard. The existing patio has a side length of 8 feet. How much of the patio would need to be removed in order to have a 1 foot walkway around the pool?

yes the data was not prsented

step-by-step explanation:

i think it will be 4feet long of what i comprehend

the area of a triangle is determined by the formula: base x height * 1/2

you'll need to assign a base to the triangle. based on the vertices given, the simplest base would be the line segment from (-2,1) to (2,1). the distance between any two numbers is found by just subtracting them. here, you should subtract the x values to find the distance of this side.

2 - (-2) = 4.

so the distance (aka the length of the base) is 4. the height of the triangle is the distance between the base and the highest point on the triangle which is (3,4). we should subtract the y values this time to find the height/distance.

4 - 1 = 3

so the height is 3.

base = 4

height = 3

hope this if needed hmu
