3. Travis is planting a rectangular garden that is 5 feet by 12 feet. One bag of soul covers 6 square feet. How many bags of soil does he need to cover the whole garden?

Explanation:

For problems 1 and 2, we just multiply the base and height. This is the same as multiplying the length and width.

So in problem 1 we have 10*12 = 120 square feet. In problem 2 we have 6*10 = 60 square inches.

Problem 3 follows the same idea, but we do a bit more work. The area of the garden is 5*12 = 60 square feet.

Let's say x is the number of bags needed.

1 bag covers 6 square feet

2 bags cover 12 square feet

and so on

x of those bags cover 6x square feet. The x is just a placeholder for a number. Specifically, a positive whole number.

The expression 6x represents how much area that can be covered by x bags. We want to cover 60 square feet.

The equation we need to solve is 6x = 60. Doing so leads to x = 10 after dividing both sides by 6.

So this means Travis needs 10 bags.

the answer is 0.071

complete the steps to find the area of the trapezoid.

area of rectangle = 256   square units

area of triangle 1 = 24  square units

area of triangle 2 = 16  square units

area of triangle 3 =   96 square units

area of trapezoid = 120  square units
