Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a right angled triangle. The perpendicular height is 8 meters and the base is 25.3 meters.
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?

Sure, here are the step by step instructions to solve the problem:
1. Look at the illustration of the triangle park and identify the base and height. The base is given as 25.3 meters and the height is given as 8 meters.
2. Use the formula for the area of a triangle to find the area of the park. The formula is:
Area = (base x height)/2
Substituting the given values, we get:
Area = (25.3 x 8)/2
Area = 101.2 square meters
This is the area of the triangular park in square meters.
3. The city is planning to plant a certain number of trees for every square meter of the park. To find the total number of trees, we need to know the number of trees per square meter.
4. Compose a rectangle with the height of the triangle as one side and the base of the triangle as the other side. This rectangle has the same area as the triangle park.
5. To find the total number of trees, multiply the area of the park (101.2 square meters) by the number of trees per square meter that the city plans to plant. This gives the total number of trees that will be planted in the park.
For example, if the city plans to plant 5 trees per square meter, the total number of trees will be:
Total number of trees = 101.2 x 5 = 506 trees.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
