Question

Answer 1

Answer:

24 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Dorian is spreading mulch on his triangular flowerbed.

The base is 8 feet.

The height is 6 feet.

Question asked:

How many square feet of mulch will he need for the flowerbed?

Solution:

The base of  triangular flowerbed = 8 feet.

The height of  triangular flowerbed = 6 feet.

now, to find how many square feet of mulch he will need for the flowerbed, we will find area of the triangular flowerbed:-

As we know:

$Area\ of\ triangle=\frac{1}{2} \times base\times height$

                           $=\frac{1}{2} \times8\times6\\\\ =\frac{48}{2} \\ \\ =24\ square\ feet$

Thus, 24 square feet of mulch he will need for the flowerbed.
