Question

Cindy's square-shaped garden has side lengths of x ft. She will plant 5 tulip bulbs per square foot. Write a function g to model the number of bulbs she should plant. How many bulbs will she plant if the garden has a side length of 8 feet? for this problem what is the function we need to write g(x)=?

Answer 1

The total number of bulbs are "320 bulbs".

Explanation:

According to the question,

The square garden's side length,

x = 8 feet

Number of tulip bulbs she plant,

= 5

Now,

As per the question, the area of square will be:

⇒
`A=x^2`

`=(8)^2`

`=64`

hence,

The total number of bulbs will be:

⇒
`n=A* 5`

`=64* 5`

`=320 \ bulbs`

Thus the above is the correct solution.
