Answer:

Lucia is able to plant 1,870 rose bushes in her garden.

Explanation:

We know that Lucia's garden has a trapezoid form, where its bases are 50 and 35 meters each and its height is 22 meters.

The area of a trapezoid is defined as


A=((B+b)h)/(2)

Where
B=50m,
b=35m and
h=22m. Replacing these values, we have


A=((50+35)22)/(2)=((85)22)/(2)=85(11)=935 \ m^(2)

Therefore, the area of the garden is 935 square meters.

Now, if Lucia plants two rose bushes per each square meter, then 935 square meters would be equivalent to


n=935 \ m^(2) * (2 \ bushes)/(1 \ m^(2) ) =1,870 \ bushes

Therefore, Lucia is able to plant 1,870 rose bushes in her garden.
