The diagram shows the layout of the township playground. The playground committee is ordering rubber mulch to cover the playground surface. A playground is made up of a rectangle and a triangle. The rectangle has a base of 40 feet and height of 25 feet. The triangle has a base of 22 feet and height of 20 feet.

One ton of mulch will cover 122 square feet at the needed depth. How many tons of mulch should the committee order?

The area of the rectangular section is
ft2.
The area of the triangular section is
ft2.
The total area of the playground is
ft2.
The committee should order
tons of mulch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so to figure out the area of a rectangle, the equation is base times height.

40*25=1000

So the area of the rectangle is 1000 square feet.

The formula for the area of a triangle is base times height divided by 2.

22*20=440

440/2=220

So the area of the triangle is 220 square feet.

Therefore, combining this, the total area of the playground is 1,220 square feet.

Since one ton of mulch covers 122 square feet, divide the total area of the playground by the amount 1 ton covers.

1220/122=10

You would need 10 tons of mulch to cover the playground.
