5. A farmer has determined that a crop of strawberries
yields a yearly profit of $1.50 per square yard. If
strawberries are planted on a triangular piece of
land whose sides are 50 yards, 75 yards, and 100
yards, how much profit, to the nearest hundred
dollars, would the farmer expect to make from this
piece of land during the next harvest?

8. The accompanying diagram shows a triangular plot
of land that is part of Fran's garden. She needs to
change the dimensions of this part of the garden,
but she wants the area to stay the same. She
increases the length of side AC to 22.5 feet. If
angle A remains the same, by how many feet
should side AB be decreased to make the area of
the new triangular plot of land the same as the
current one?
