Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for determining the area of a rectangular playground is expressed as

Area = length × width

The rectangular playground is 40 meters by 10 meters. This means that the area of the playground would be

Area = 40 × 10 = 400 m²

Each bag of the wooden Chips to be used to cover the playground covers 200 sq meters. The number of bags needed would be

400/200 = 2 bags

Each bag costs $30. Therefore, the total cost for this project would be

2 × 30 = $60
