Answer:
24 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Dorian is spreading mulch on his triangular flowerbed.
The base is 8 feet.
The height is 6 feet.
Question asked:
How many square feet of mulch will he need for the flowerbed?
Solution:
The base of triangular flowerbed = 8 feet.
The height of triangular flowerbed = 6 feet.
now, to find how many square feet of mulch he will need for the flowerbed, we will find area of the triangular flowerbed:-
As we know:
[tex]Area\ of\ triangle=\frac{1}{2} \times base\times height[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1}{2} \times8\times6\\\\ =\frac{48}{2} \\ \\ =24\ square\ feet[/tex]
Thus, 24 square feet of mulch he will need for the flowerbed.
