A farmer needs to buy fertilizer for two fields. One field is shaped like a trapezoid, and the other is shaped like a triangle. The trapezoidal field has bases that are 35 and 48 yards and a height of 26 yards. The triangular field has the same height and a base of 39 yards. Each bag of fertilizer covers 150 square yards. Use a problem solving model to find how many bags of fertilizer the farmer needs to buy

Answer 1
Answer:
43680 for the trapezoid 35 times 48 times 26
OK. These problems are easy if you know the quadratic formula, and they're impossible if you don't.
Here's the quadratic formula:
When the equation is in the form of Ax² + Bx + C = 0
then x = [ -B plus or minus √(B²-4AC) ] / 2A
I'm sure that formula is in your text or your study notes, right before these questions. You should cut it out or copy it, and tape it inside the cover of your notebook. Then, you'll always have it when you need it, until you have it memorized and can rattle it off.
The first question says 3x² + 5x + 2 = 0
Is this in the form of Ax² + Bx + C = 0 ?
Yes ! A=3 B=5 C=2
so you can use the quadratic formula to solve it.
x = [ -B plus or minus √(B²-4AC) ] / 2A
= [ -5 plus or minus √(5² - 4·3·2) ] / 2·3
= [ -5 plus or minus √(25 - 24) ] / 6
= [ -5 plus or minus √1 ] / 6
x = -4 / 6 = -2/3 and x = -6 / 6 = -1 . _______________________________________
The second question says
4x² + 5x - 1 = 0
Is this in the form of Ax² + Bx + C = 0 ?
Yes it is ! A=4 B=5 C= -1
so you can use the quadratic formula to solve it.
x = [ -B plus or minus √(B²-4AC) ] / 2A
Now, you take it from here.

Using the information given in the question, there's no way to calculate the answer. The only thing we can say for sure is that it's not more than 3,392 a month .. IF that statistic refers to Surat.
Kent sells crates of bottled soda. For every crate he sells, he makes $3.14. Last week, Kent sold 41 crates of bottled soda. How much money did he make?
Answers
Number of soda crates sold by Kent last week = 41 Amount made by Kent for selling each crate = $3.14 Amount made by Kent by selling 41 crates = (3.14 * 41) dollars = (314/100) * 41 dollars = 12874/100 dollars = 128.74 dollars So the amount of money Kent makes by selling 41 crates of soda bottle is $128.74. this is the easiest way of solving such type of problems. I hope this method will help you to solve these kind of problems in future without requiring any help from others.
Crates = 41 1 crate = 3.14 41 × 3.14 = 128.74
So, on 41 crates of bottled sodas he makes $128.74.
Hope I helped ya!!
