Clark plans to fertilize his yard this summer. His yard is 40 feet wide a 60 feet long. thus included a 4 foot wide and 20 foot
long flower bed, which he will not fertilize. A bag of fertilizer costs $8.25 and covers 1,000 square feet. He also hopes to fertilize his neighbors yard the neighbors yard is 50 feet wide and proportional to clarks yard including a 5 foot wide and 30 foot long flower bed that will not be fertilized how long is the neighbors yard? set up a proportion. How many square feet of his own yard will clark fertilize. If clark bought only 3 bags to fertilize both yards how many square feet will remain unfertillized when he runs out

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the area of Clark's yard = 60 * 40 = 2400 square feet
the area of the flower bed in his area = 4 * 20 = 80 square feet
the area to be fertilized = 2400 - 80 = 2320 square feet
∵the two yards are proportional
∴ where L1 and W1 are the length and width of clark's yard and L2 and W2 are his neighbor's yard
L2 = 75 feet
the area of his neighbors yard = 75 * 50 = 3750 square feet
the area of flower bed = 5 * 30 = 150 square feet
area to be fertilized = 3600 square feet
the area that will remain unfertilized = 5920 - 3000 = 2920 square feet

========================================================
Explanation:
We're given the height in relation to base BC, so we need to find the length of this base. This is the same as finding the distance from B to C.
Turn to the distance formula
Coincidentally, the base and height are the same. This won't always be the case.
Now we can find the area of the triangle
The area of the triangle is 1 square unit.
See diagram below.
