197. Mr. Gonzalez owns a triangular plot of land BCD
with DB = 25 yards and BC = 16 yards. He
wishes to purchase the adjacent plot of land in
the shape of right triangle ABD, as shown in the
accompanying diagram, with AD = 15 yards. If
the purchase is made, what will be the total
number of square yards in the area of his plot of
land, ∆ACD?
200. On the accompanying grid, draw and label
quadrilateral ABCD with points A(1,2), B(6,1),
C(7,6), and D(3,7). On the same set of axes,
plot and label quadrilateral A’B’C’D’, the
reflection of quadrilateral ABCD in the y-axis.
Determine the area, in square units, of
quadrilateral A’B’C’D’.
198. The plan of a parcel of land is represented by
trapezoid ABCD in the accompanying diagram.
If the area of ∆ABE is 600 square feet, find the
minimum number of feet of fence needed to
completely enclose the entire parcel of land,
ABCD.
