Question

Sparks garden is a shape of a trapezoid in the dimension are shown below I got in your needs to spread fertilizer over the flower beds each bag of fertilizer he uses covers 240 m^2. would be the number of bags of fertilizers?

Answer 1

12 bags of fertilizers are needed

Explanation:

In this case we must calculate the area of the garden that has a trapezoid shape by means of the following formula:

`A=(B_1+B_2)/(2)\cdot h`

Replacing:

`\begin{gathered} A=(70+40)/(2)\cdot50 \\ A=2750 \end{gathered}`

Now to calculate the number of bags, we must divide the total area by the area covered by each bag of fertilizer, just like that:

`\#b=(2750)/(240)=11.46\cong12`
