What are the areas of a rectangle and a triangle?
The area of a rectangle is the product of length and breadth while the area of a triangle is the half of the product of the base and the height.
The area of the rectangular part = 40*25 =1000 square feet
The area of the triangular part = 0.5*22*20 =220 square feet
Total area to cover =1000+220 =1220 square feet
Given that 1 ton of mulch will cover 122 square feet
Or, 122 square feet area will be covered by= 1 ton of mulch
So, 1 square feet area will be covered by= (1/122) ton of mulch
So, 1220 square feet area will be covered by=(1/122)*1220 =10 tons of mulch.
Thus, a)The area of the rectangular section is 1000 ft2.
b)The area of the triangular section is 220 ft2.
c)The total area of the playground is 1220 ft2
d)The committee should order 10 tons of mulch.
