Answer: he needs to buy 578.5 yard² of Sod.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the lawn is square shaped, the formula for determining the area of a square is
Area = length²
If the length of each side of the lawn is 24 1/2 = 24.5 ft
Area of the lawn = 24.5² = 600.25yard²
The area of the pool house is 16yard²
The area of the side walk is
3 × 1 = 3 yard²
The length of the pool is 7 1/2 = 7.5yards
The width of the pool is 2 1/2 = 2.5 yards. Therefore,
Area of pool = 7.5 × 2.5 = 18.75 yard²
Therefore, the amount of Sod that he needs to buy is
600.25 - (3 + 18.75) = 600.25 - 21.75
= 578.5 yard²
