Answer 1

24 square feet

Explanation:

Given:

Dorian is spreading mulch on his triangular flowerbed.

The base is 8 feet.

The height is 6 feet.

Question asked:

How many square feet of mulch will he need for the flowerbed?

Solution:

The base of triangular flowerbed = 8 feet.

The height of triangular flowerbed = 6 feet.

now, to find how many square feet of mulch he will need for the flowerbed, we will find area of the triangular flowerbed:-

As we know:

`Area\ of\ triangle=(1)/(2) * base* height`

`=(1)/(2) *8*6\\\\ =(48)/(2) \\ \\ =24\ square\ feet`

Thus, 24 square feet of mulch he will need for the flowerbed.
