Question

A farmer has decided to divide his land area in half in order to plant soy and corn. Calculate the area of the entire area so he knows how much soil is needed.

A parallelogram with a height of 6 yards and side length 9 yards. The height forms a triangle with the slanted side of the rhombus with a base of 2.5 yards. Rhombus is split into a soy half and a corn half.

Each bag of soil covers 20 square yards. How many bags should the farmer purchase?

Answer 1

The farmer should purchase 2 bags of soil for his farm.

What is Area of rectangle?

Area of rectangle is the region occupied by a rectangle within its four sides or boundaries. The area of a rectangle depends on its sides.

The shape of the farm, according to the picture is a parallelogram.  the total area can be calculated as follows:

Area = b X h

where

b = base

h = height

base = 6.5 + 2.5 = 9.0 yards

height = 6 yards

Area = 6 × 9 = 54 square yards.

40 square yards requires 1 bag of soil .

54 square yards will require ?

cross multiply

Bags required = 54 / 40 = 1.35 bag

Thus, the farmer will require 2 bags of soil for his farm.
