Question

1. the map of the science center is shown. it shows where to find the trains, nature, dinosaurs, geology, and planetarium exhibits. each unit represents one meter. what is the area of the science center? dinosaurs (10, 10) nature (5, 10) geology (12, 6) trains (0, 6) (5, 6) (10, 6) entrance (0, 1) planetarium (12, 1)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify length of base

The base spans from $x=0$ to $x=12$.
Length of base $= 12 - 0 = 12$ meters

Step2: Identify height of shape

The height spans from $y=1$ to $y=10$.
Height of shape $= 10 - 1 = 9$ meters

Step3: Calculate area of rectangle

Area = base $\times$ height
$\text{Area} = 12 \times 9$

Answer:

108 square meters
