Question

Paula designed a garden bed in a shape of an irregular prism. it took 5 cubic feet of dirt to cover the bed a depth of 6 inches. how much area does her garden bed cover in square feet?

Answer 1

The area that the garden bed cover is 10 ft², at a depth of 6 in (0.5 ft.)

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

12 in = 1 ft, hence 6 in = 0.5 ft.

The volume of the dirt = Area of the bed * Depth of the bed

Hence:

5 ft³ = Area * 0.5 ft.

Area = 10 ft²

The area that the garden bed cover is 10 ft², at a depth of 6 in (0.5 ft.)

Answer 2

Answer:

10 ft^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 inches = 0.5 feet.

As the depth is a uniform 0.5 feet:

Area = volume / depth

        =  5 / 0.5

         = 10 ft^2.
