Question

Jessica is planting a garden. It has the shape of a right triangle. She wants 4 plants for each square yard of area. How many plants does she want in the​ garden?

Answer 1

2.b.h

Explanation:

Plants in garden = 2 x triangle base x traingle height

Explanation:

Let the base of right triangle be = b

Let the height of right triangle be = h

Area of triangle = 1/2.base.height = 1/2.b.h units of area (square yard)

Number of plants per square yard = 4

Total plants in full traingle area = Area x No. of plants per square yard

= 4 (1/2.b.h)

= 2.b.h

Answer 2

Plants in garden = 2 x triangle base x traingle height

Explanation:

Let the base of right triangle be = b

Let the height of right triangle be = h

Area of triangle = 1/2.base.height = 1/2.b.h units of area (square yard)

Number of plants per square yard = 4

Total plants in full traingle area = Area x No. of plants per square yard

= 4 (1/2.b.h)

= 2.b.h
