A market gardener has to fertilize a triangular field with sides of lengths 90m, 45m, and 65m.
The fertilizer is to be spread so that 1 kg covers 10m squared. One bag of fertilizer has a mass of 9.1 kg.
How many bags of fertilizer will he need?
Let A = the area of the triangular field
Let a = 90 m
Let b = 45 m
Let c = 65 m
Heron:
The area of the triangular field is 1387.44 m2
Let x = bags of fertilizer
We need 16 bags
