Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's find the area of the triangle:

Area = (Base * Height)/2

Area = (20 * 6)/2

Area of the flower bed = 60 m²

2. Now, let's calculate the number of bags of topsoil Betsy needs to cover her flower bed:

Number of bags = Area of the flower bed/Area covered by a bag of topsoil

Number of bags = 60/20

Number of bags = 3

The correct answer is B. 3 bags
