you need to buy new soil for your garden. find the area of the garden. use the dimensions show in the picture.

a.) 95 square meters
47.25 square meters
190 square meters
57.25 square meters

A) 95m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the garden is in the shape of a triangle, use the formula for area of a triangle. A = bh/2 or A = 1/2 bh

"A" is for area.

"b" is for base.

"h" is for height.

The area of a triangle is base times height divided by two or half times base times height. Dividing by 2 and multiplying by 1/2 are the same.

The base of the garden is 19m and the height is 10m. The height is always perpendicular (90°) to the base and meet the vertex opposite to the base.

b = 19m

h = 10m

Substitute (replace) the variables in the formula with the values.

A = bh/2

A = (19m)(10m)/2    Multiply 19m and 10m. Don't forget to multiply the units.

A = (190m²)/2         Divide by 2.

A = 95m²             Area of garden

When you multiply numbers with units, multiply the numbers, then multiply the units. Add the exponents for the units. The exponent for meters is 1, and 1 + 1 = 2. (m X m = m²)

Therefore, the area of the garden is 95 square meters.
