Question

You are building a greenhouse with walls that are 10' wide, 15' long, and 8' high. You want the wall

space to be used to hydroponically grow various types of lettuce. You also want to use the floor space to
start tomato seeds. The extension office recommends for only half of the floor space to be available for
the tomatoes.
Glass panels come in 5' x 4' sheets. You will use glass for all windows and doors as well as the walls. How
many glass panels will you need?

Answer 1

Answer:The answer is $911.68.

Answer 2

we will need 20 glass panels to cover the walls of the greenhouse with 5' x 4' glass panels.

Explanation:

First, let's calculate the total wall area:

2 walls (10' x 8') = 160 sq. ft.

2 walls (15' x 8') = 240 sq. ft.

Total wall area = 400 sq. ft.

Next, let's calculate the total floor area:

15' x 5' = 75 sq. ft. (total floor area)

75 sq. ft. / 2 = 37.5 sq. ft. (floor area for tomatoes)

To cover the walls with glass panels, we need to divide the total wall area by the area of each glass panel:

Glass panel area = 5' x 4' = 20 sq. ft.

400 sq. ft. (total wall area) / 20 sq. ft. (area of each glass panel) = 20 glass panels

Therefore, we will need 20 glass panels to cover the walls of the greenhouse with 5' x 4' glass panels.
