To calculate the topsoil coverage:
\[ C = \frac{A \times \left(\frac{D}{12}\right)}{27} \]
Where:
Topsoil coverage refers to the volume of topsoil required to cover a specific area to a certain depth. It is commonly used in gardening and landscaping to ensure that plants have enough soil for proper growth. The coverage is typically measured in cubic yards when dealing with large quantities.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Convert the depth from inches to feet by dividing by 12:
\[ \frac{D}{12} = \frac{6}{12} = 0.5 \text{ feet} \]
Step 2: Multiply the area by the converted depth to get cubic feet:
\[ A \times 0.5 = 1000 \times 0.5 = 500 \text{ cubic feet} \]
Step 3: Convert cubic feet to cubic yards by dividing by 27:
\[ \frac{500}{27} \approx 18.52 \text{ cubic yards} \]
