The diameter of this semicircle is 15 feet. One bag of mulch spreads 6 square feet. How much mulch will be needed for this area?

The area of a circle is the product of the square of the radius squared and the number pi. The area of a semicircle is half the area of the corresponding circle. The diameter is twice the radius. Therefore, the area of this semicircle is pi(15/2)2/2 = 8 X 101 square feet, to the justified number of significant digits -- only one, since the value 6 has only one. At 6 square feet of mulch per bag, over 13 bags of mulch will be needed; therefore, 14 bags should be available.

How much is two yards of bark mulch?

When you say a yard, you are actually saying a cubic yard. If you were to place the much in a 3 foot high by 3 foot wide by 3 foot tall cube, it would exactly fill the cube. How much it covers depends on how deeply you spread it. Since you should spread it at a dept of no less than 4 inches, it should cover about 20 square feet. If you spread it deeper than that, it will of course, cover less area.The 'square feet' of area that it covers is 324/(depth of the mulch, in inches)


How much mulch would you need to cover 880 square feet at 2 inches deep?

Mulch is often sold by weight in bags, but a volume is assigned to the material in bags, too. We'll treat this as a volume problem as we have an area to cover (880 square feet), and a depth of coverage assigned (2 inches). We have to find the volume of that 880 square feet by 2 inch volume. First, we need to convert either the area in square feet to square inches, or the depth in inches to feet. The latter makes more sense (and it's easier), so let's do that.The 2 inches is 2/12ths of a foot, or 1/6th of a foot. We'll go with that. If we have 880 square feet by 1/6th of a foot in depth, we have 880 square feet times 1/6 feet, which is 146 2/3rds cubic feet of mulch, the required amount of mulch to cover the given area to the desired depth.

How much mulch will you need for a 400 square foot playground area?

1 yard of mulch at 12 inches deep would cover 25 sq. ft., so for 400 square feet you would need 16 yards. 12 inches is the depth you need to start with because the mulch will settle.
