The pta wants to cover the wet areas of the trail with wood chips. they find that one bag of wood chips covers a 3 1/2 yards section of the trail. if there is a wet section of the trail that is approximately 50 1/4 yards long, how many bags of wood chips are needed to cover the trail?

518,400

step-by-step explanation:

the area is multiplying all the given measurements together.

40 * 18 * 30 * 24 = 518,400

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x
