Bob Bender needs to buy fertilizer and fencing for his vegetable garden. His square garden measures 10 feet on each side. Directions say that each bag of fertilizer will cover 50 square feet of soil.
To find out how many bags of fertilizer Bob Bender needs to buy, we need to calculate the area of his square garden first. The formula for calculating the area of a square is:
Area = Side x Side
In this case, the length of each side of the square garden is 10 feet, so:
Area = 10 ft x 10 ft = 100 square feet
Now, since each bag of fertilizer covers 50 square feet of soil, we divide the total area of the garden by the coverage of one bag to find out how many bags are required:
Number of bags = Area of garden / Coverage per bag
Number of bags = 100 square feet / 50 square feet = 2 bags
So, Bob Bender will need to buy 2 bags of fertilizer for his garden.
To calculate the number of feet of fencing Bob Bender should buy for his garden, we need to find the perimeter of the square garden. The formula for calculating the perimeter of a square is:
Perimeter = 4 x Side
In this case, the length of each side of the square garden is 10 feet, so:
Perimeter = 4 x 10 ft = 40 feet
Therefore, Bob Bender should buy 40 feet of fencing for his garden.
