A lawn is in the shape of a trapezoid with a height of 7070 feet and bases of 4040 feet and 160160 feet. how many full bags of fertilizer must be purchased to cover the lawn if each full bag covers 40004000 square feet and only full bags of fertilizer can be bought?

Area of the trapezium = 1/2 (40 + 160) x 70
Area of the trapezium = 7000 ft²

One bag of fertilizer = 4000 ft²

Number of bags of fertilizer needed = 7000 ÷ 4000 = 1.75 bags.

Since only full bags of fertilizer can be bought, 2 bags of fertilizer are needed.
