Question 7 options:

35 bags of soil


12 bags of soil


7 bags of soil

Answer 1

If 1 bag of soil will covers 5 square feet, the number of bags of soil that will cover Susie's 35 square feet triangular garden is 7 bags.

Option D) is the correct answer.

How many bags will Susie need?

Area of a triangle is expressed as half base multiply by height.

A = (1/2)base × height

Given that;

• Base of the triangular garden = 7ft
• Height = 10ft
• Area of the triangular garden A = ?

A = (1/2)base × height

A = (1/2) × 7ft × 10ft

Area of the triangular garden A = 35ft²

Now, if 1 bag of soil covers 5 square feet. how many will cover 35 square feet?

1 bag covers 5ft²

x bags covers 35ft²

x = 35 / 5

x = 7 bags

Therefore,  if 1 bag of soil will covers 5 square feet, the number of bags of soil that will cover Susie's 35 square feet triangular garden is 7 bags.

Option D) is the correct answer.
