Use area to solve problems practice.
The city is planning to plant a certain number of trees for every square meter of a triangle-shaped park. Compose a rectangle to find the area of the park. What is the area of the park in square meters?
(1 point)
To find the area of the park, we need to find the area of the triangle-shaped park.
Let's say the base of the triangle is 10 meters and the height is 6 meters.
Area of a triangle = (base x height) / 2
Area of the triangle = (10 x 6) / 2
Area of the triangle = 60 / 2
Area of the triangle = 30 square meters
Now, let's say the city plans to plant 5 trees for every square meter.
Number of trees to be planted = 30 x 5
Number of trees to be planted = 150 trees
Therefore, the area of the park is 30 square meters.
