Question
- un arpenteur a tracé le croquis suivant à l’aide des mesures qu’il a effectuées. les points ont été localisés par coordonnées rectangulaires.
a. calculer l’aire du terrain triangulaire attenant au ruisseau.
b. calculer l’aire de la parcelle de terrain boisée au bas du croquis.
Part (a)
Step 1: Recall the formula for the area of a triangle
The area of a triangle is given by \( A=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height \). For the triangular terrain next to the stream, we can take the base as \( 82.4\space m \) and the height as \( 35.9\space m \).
Step 2: Calculate the area
Substitute the values into the formula:
\( A=\frac{1}{2}\times82.4\times35.9 \)
First, calculate \( 82.4\times35.9 = 82.4\times(30 + 5+ 0.9)=82.4\times30+82.4\times5 + 82.4\times0.9=2472+412+74.16 = 2958.16 \)
Then, \( \frac{1}{2}\times2958.16=1479.08\space m^{2} \)
Step 1: Analyze the shape of the wooded parcel
The wooded parcel can be considered as a trapezoid or we can also calculate it as the sum of two triangles or use the formula for the area of a trapezoid. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is \( A=\frac{(a + b)}{2}\times h \), where \( a \) and \( b \) are the lengths of the two parallel sides and \( h \) is the height (the distance between the parallel sides). Alternatively, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle with base \( 108.95\space m \) and height \( 68.4\space m \) minus the area of the smaller triangle (but actually looking at the diagram, the wooded area can be calculated as \( \frac{1}{2}\times base\times height \) where base is \( 108.95\space m \) and height is \( 68.4\space m \) plus or minus? Wait, no, looking at the diagram, the wooded area: let's take the base as \( 108.95\space m \) and the height as \( 68.4\space m \) and also consider the other part? Wait, no, actually, the wooded area can be calculated as the area of a triangle with base \( 108.95\space m \) and height \( 68.4\space m \) minus the area of the triangle with base \( 108.95 - 24.5\space m \)? Wait, no, looking at the diagram, the wooded area: let's use the formula for the area of a triangle with base \( 108.95\space m \) and height \( 68.4\space m \) and also check the other dimension. Wait, another approach: the wooded area can be calculated as \( \frac{1}{2}\times(108.95)\times68.4 \). Wait, no, let's re - examine.
Wait, the wooded parcel: the vertical side is \( 68.4\space m \), the horizontal side at the bottom is \( 108.95\space m \), and there is a segment of \( 24.5\space m \) from the vertex. Wait, actually, the area of the wooded parcel can be calculated as the area of a triangle with base \( 108.95\space m \) and height \( 68.4\space m \) minus the area of the triangle with base \( (108.95 - 24.5)\space m \) and height \( 68.4\space m \)? No, that's not correct. Wait, alternatively, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle with base \( 108.95\space m \) and height \( 68.4\space m \) but that's not right. Wait, looking at the diagram, the wooded area: let's use the formula for the area of a triangle with base \( 108.95\space m \) and height \( 68.4\space m \) and also consider the other triangle? Wait, no, the correct way: the wooded area can be calculated as \( \frac{1}{2}\times108.95\times68.4 \). Let's calculate that.
Step 2: Calculate the area
First, calculate \( 108.95\times68.4 \)
\( 108.95\times68.4=(100 + 8.95)\times68.4=100\times68.4+8.95\times68.4 = 6840+8.95\times(60 + 8.4)=6840+(8.95\times60+8.95\times8.4)=6840+(537+75.18)=6840 + 612.18=7452.18 \)
Then, \( \frac{1}{2}\times7452.18 = 3726.09\space m^{2} \)
Wait, but we also have to consider the small triangle? No, wait, maybe the wooded area is a trapezoid with parallel sides \( 24.5\space m \) and \( 108.95\space m \) and height \( 68.4\space m \)? No, the formula for the area of a trapezoid is \( A=\frac{(a + b)}{2}\times h \), where \( a = 24.5\space m \), \( b = 108.95\space m \), \( h = 68.4\space m \)
Then \( A=\frac{(24.5+108.95)}{2}\times68.4=\frac{133.45}{2}\times68.4 = 66.725\times68.4 \)
Calculate \( 66.725\times68.4 \):
\( 66.725\times68.4=66.725\times(60 + 8+0.4)=66.725\times60+66.725\times8+66.725\times0.4 = 4003.5+533.8+26.69 = 4003.5+560.49 = 4563.99\space m^{2} \)
Wait, there is a mistake in the first approach. Let's re - evaluate. The correct way: The wooded area can be calculated as the area of a triangle with base \( 108.95\space m \) and height \( 68.4\space m \) plus the area o…
