Answer:
54 square yards
It will require 3 bags.
Step-by-step explanation:
The two halves of the field form a parallelogram. To find the area of this shape, multiply the base 6.5 + 2.5 by the perpendicular height 6.
A = (6.5+2.5)(6)
A= 6.5*6 + 2.5*6
A = 39+15 = 54
If each bag covers 20 square yards then to find how many bags you need divided 54 by 20.
54/20 = 2.7
Bags do not come in parts or as a decimal. They come as whole numbers. So 2.7 rounds up to 3.
Answer:
3 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a parallelogram so you find the total area using base times height.
bh = A
b = 6.5 + 2.5 = 9
h = 6
bh = 9(6)
A = 54 square yards
You now know that the total area is 54 yards. 20 times 3 equals 60 square yards so you know that you need at least 3 bags to cover the whole land area.
