Answer 1

The number of bags of grass seed that are needed to seed the new rectangular lawn is approximately 19 bags .

Perimeter of a rectangle

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the whole sides of the rectangle.

Therefore,

perimeter of the rectangle = 298 ft

The width is 67 ft.

Hence

perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + w)

where

• l  = length
• w = width

Therefore,

298 = 2 ( l + 67)

298 = 2l + 134

298 - 134 = 2l

164 = 2l

l = 164 / 2

l = 82 ft

Therefore,

area of the rectangle = 82 × 67 = 5494 ft²

285 ft² = 1 bag of grass seed

5494 ft² = ?

cross multiply

number of bag of grass seed to fill the new rectangular lawn = 5494 / 285

number of bag of grass seed to fill the new rectangular lawn = 19.2771929825
