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?

1 answer

To find the area of the park, we need to first find the area of the triangle-shaped park.

Let's assume the base of the triangle is 10 meters and the height is 5 meters.

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: 1/2 * base * height

So, the area of the triangle-shaped park is: 1/2 * 10 * 5 = 25 square meters

Now, if the city is planning to plant a certain number of trees for every square meter of the park, and let's say they are planting 2 trees per square meter, we can calculate the total number of trees to be planted as follows:

Total number of trees = area of the park * number of trees per square meter
Total number of trees = 25 * 2 = 50 trees

Therefore, the area of the park is 25 square meters and the total number of trees to be planted is 50.
