Answer:
B) 60.21 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a triangle = 1/2bh
You can‘t used mixed measurements (feet and inches), so you have to convert each length to inches
8’6”=102’
14’2”=170’
Now find the area
1/2 x 102 x 170 = 8670 in²
This is one of the answers, but the quetion asks how many quart feet you need.
So, convert it back to feet.
8670 x 0.06944444444 = 60.2083333
(You could also have converted the two lengths to feet. 8’6” = 8.5 ft. 14’2” = 14.16666666. This way would probably have been faster.
1/2 x 8.5 x 14.166666 = 60.20833333)
At least 3 2/3 can fit into 2
306 / 3.6 = 85 gallons per minute
5,200 = 85x
x = <span>61.1764705882
