To find the area of irregular shapes, the first thing to do is to divide the irregular shape into regular shapes that you can recognize such as triangles, rectangles, circles, squares and so forth... Then, find the area of these individual shapes and add them up.
You work for a landscape company that just got a contract to re-mulch a park. the area that needs mulching is 30 feet by 60 feet. they want a 3 inch layer of much on the area. the company has bags of mulch that cover 2 cubic yards that cost $4.00 per bag. how much will it cost the consumer just in materials to re-mulch the area (round to the nearest dollar)?
