Question

Jayden wants to lay sod on his front yard and on half of his back yard. his front yard has a length of 50 feet and a width of 80 feet. his back yard has a length of 10 feet and a width of 30 feet. how many square feet of sod does jayden need to purchase?

Answer 1

The first thing we must do for this case is to calculate the area of both yards.
 We have then:
 front yard:
 A1 = (50) * (80)
 A1 = 4000 feet ^ 2
 Back yard:
 A2 = (10) * (30)
 A2 = 300 feet ^ 2
 "Jayden wants to lay sod on his front yard and on half of his back yard"
 Then, the total amount will be:
 A = A1 + (1/2) A2
 Substituting:
 A = 4000 + (1/2) (300)
 A = 4000 + 150
 A = 4150 feet ^ 2
 Answer:
 jayden needs to purchase 4150 square feet of sod
