Question

If the seed company recommends planting approximately 350 grass seeds per square meter, about how many grass seeds will he need? :)

Answer 1

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
