Question

A landscaping company has been commissioned to design a triangular flower bed for a mall

Answer 1

Answer:

A=b(1/2b-1)

112ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

-Write the equation in factored form: A= b (1/2 b -1 )

-Supposed the base of the flower bed is 16 feet. What will the area be:

b=16 feet

Formula is A=1/2(1/2b-1)

Replace the b with 16

A=1/2 (16)^2 - 16

A=1/2 (256)-16

A=256/2 - 16

A=128-16

A=112 ft^2

The area will be 112 ft^2
