Question

2. Mrs. Cooper created a triangular shaped vegetable garden and needs to put down fertilizer to cover the space. If the garden has a base of 8m and a height of 10m, how much fertilizer will she need?​

Answer 1

40 m²

Explanation:

Area of triangle:

To find the area of triangle, multiply the base and area and then divide it by 2.

base = b = 8 m

height = h = 10m

`\boxed{\bf Area \ of \ triangle = (1)/(2)*b*h}`

`= (1)/(2)*8 * 10\\\\= 4 * 10\\\\= 40 \ m^2`
