A bag of fertilizer covers 3 her garden? square feet The area of the garden is feet Sandy will need garden bags of fertilizer to cover her 4 ft. 6 ft.

Answer 1

Determine the area of the garden by using the following formula for the area of a triangle:

A = b·h/2

where

b: base = 4 ft

h: height = 6 ft

replace the previous values of the parameters into the formula for A:

A = (4 ft)(6 ft)/2

A = 12 ft²

next, take into account that:

1 bag of fertilizer = 3 ft² of garden

then, you have:

number of bags of fertilizer = (12 ft²)/(3 ft²) = 4 bags
