Ms. Newton's flower bed is shaped like a triangle as shown. Find the area of the flower bed in square
feet. If one bag of topsoil covers 10 square feet, how many bags are needed to
cover this flower bed?
b=4
h=2

3 bags are needed to cover this flower bed

Step-by-step explanation:

Use conversion:

1 yard = 3 feet

Area of a triangle(A) is given by:

where,

b is the base and h is the height of the triangle.

As per the statement:

From the given diagram:

Base(b) = 3 yards = 9 feet

Height(h) = 2 yard = 6 feet

then;

square feet.

Since, it is given that if one bag of topsoil covers 10 square feet

⇒10 square feet =  1 bag

then\;

in 27 square feet =  bag

Therefore, 3 bags are needed to cover this flower bed
