(05.02)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. SOY #6 yards 6 yards CORN 2.5 yards 6.5 yards Each bag of soil covers 15 Square yards. How many bags should the farmer purchase? 0 1 bag O2 bags O 3 bags 4 bags​

9514 1404 393

  4 bags -- the correct answer is marked

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula ...

  A = bh

where b is the base length and h is the height.

Here, the base is the sum of lengths 2.5 yd and 6.5 yd. The height is given as 6 yd. So, the area is ...

  A = (2.5 yd + 6.5 yd)(6 yd) = 54 yd²

At 15 yd² per bag, the farmer will need ...

  (54 yd²)/(15 yd²/bag) = 3 3/5 bags

Assuming the farmer can purchase only whole bags, the farmer should purchase 4 bags of soil.
