Answer:
83422.5 grass seeds
Step-by-step explanation:
Applying,
A = 1/2bh....................... Equation 1
Where A = Area of the Triangle, b = base, h = height.
But, from the diagram,
tanФ = 20/b
b = 20/tanФ.................. Equation 2
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
A = 1/2(20/tanФ)(h)................ Equation 3
Given: h = 20 m, Ф = 40°
Substitute these values into equation 3
A = 1/2(20×20)/tan40°
A = 200/tan40°
A = 238.35 m²
If the seed company recommends planting approximately 350 grass seeds per square meter,
Therefore,
Number of grass seed need = (350×238.35)
Number of grass seed needed = 83422.5 grass seeds
