The area of a rectangular garden in square feet can be represented by 22 - 102 +21. The length is 2 - 7 feet. You have been hired to fertilize the

garden. Recall that the area of the garden is 22 - 10z +21. If 2 = 20 and the fertilizer costs $0.27 per square foot, how much it cost to fertilize
the garden?

The area of a rectangular garden in square feet can be represented by z² - 10z +21. The length is z - 7 feet. You have been hired to fertilize the

garden. Recall that the area of the garden is z² - 10z +21. If z = 20 and the fertilizer costs $0.27 per square foot, how much it cost to fertilize

the garden?

Answer:

$ 59.67

Explanation:

The area of a rectangular garden in square feet can be represented by z² - 10z +21 square feet

If z = 20

Therefore:

The area of the rectangular garden is:

20² - 10 × 20 + 21

400 - 200 + 21

= 221 square feet

The fertilizer costs $0.27 per square foot, how much it cost to fertilize

the garden?

The cost of fertilize the garden is calculated as:

1 square feet = $0.27

221 square feet = x

Cross Multiply

221 square feet × $0.27

=$ 59.67
