An arboretum has a daffodil garden containing 17 different types of daffodils in an area of 345 square feet. The horticulture di
rector states that there are 1,400 daffodils in the garden, and plans to extend the garden. How much area is required to add 250 more daffodils to the garden? Round the answer to nearest tenth
There are 1,400 daffodils in the flower garden covering an area of 345 square feet. So, the area covered by 1 daffodil, the unit rate, is found as shown below.
Now, use the unit rate to determine the area required to have 250 more daffodils as shown below.
Therefore, the area required to add 250 daffodils is approximately 61.6 square feet.
Let's x be the length of the side that is NOT the same as the side along the river (or in opposite). From the fencing perimeter of 2200ft we can calculate the other side y of the rectangular:
y = 2200 - 2x
The area A of the pen would be the product of the 2 sides
