The piece of plastic needed to cover the sand pit is the same as the area of the sand pit. Since the sand pit has a width of 2.56meters and a length of 8.75meters, it means that the sand pit is rectangular in shape. The area of the sand pit is given by the formula:
Area = length × width
Area = 2.56 meters × 8.75 meters
Area = 22.4 m²
The plastic needed to cover the sand pit needs to have an area of 22.4 m²
