Question

Jessica is planting a garden. It has the shape of a right triangle. She wants 2 plants for each square yard of area. How many plants does she want in the​ garden?

Answer 1

Answer:

42 plants

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions are missing.

Suppose a right triangle has a base of length 7yards  and a height of 24 yards.

As you know, Area of triangle can be determined by

Area of triangle 'A'=  1/2 x b x h = 1/2 x 7 x 24

A= 84 yards²

Now she wants 2 plants for each square yard of area

therefore, if the area is 84 yards²:

number of plants are 84/2=> 42 plants

Thus, She wants 42 plants in the garden
