A 16 A 90 m x 90 m block of land is to be divided into three
paddocks using two straight pieces of fencing as shown.
Given that all three paddocks must have the same area,
determine where the fencing needs to be placed. To do this
you need to find the lengths of CX and AY.
(Give AY to the nearest mm.)
90 m

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

im not sure

sorry i really don't know what tiles and steps you are referring to
