problem_activity: Problem 1
A new park is being built in the city. In the park, there will be a cemented walkway that will wind through the park. The walkway will be completely enclosed by a short, gated fence that will line the path on all sides of the path. The blueprint for the pathway is shown in the coordinate plane below. Each square unit in the coordinate grid represents 1 square yard.

a.   The city budget includes enough funds to include 50 square yards of cement and 60 yards of fencing. Will the budget cover the necessary expenses for cement and fencing? Defend your answer.
b.   Two statues will be placed at points
$${(-1, 2)}$$
and
$${(-1, -4).}$$
How far apart, in yards, are the two statues?
Problem 2
You are responsible for a small plot of land in the community garden that measures
$$9$$
ft.
$$\times $$
$$9$$
ft. You want to include
