Square One Television: Geometric Area in Court

4m 17s

area

In a court case, the plaintiff claims that the defendant is unfairly compensating him for his lawn work. He asserts that he should be paid the same amount for mowing the triangular lawn and the rectangular lawn because they have the same area. He proves his claim by using a cardboard representation of the two lawns and comparing their areas.
