Question

The Davis family is going to reseed the grass in the backyard. Their yard is irregularly shaped with a cement patio and rectangular garden as shown below.
Given that the family will not need grass seed for the patio or the garden areas, what is the total area of the land will they be reseeding?

Answer 1

Answer:

1,482 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Find total area - 37 x 46 = 1,702

Find area of patio and garden - 16 x 10 = 160 for the patio, 12 x 5 = 60 for the garden

Subtract from total area - 1702 - 160 = 1542, 1542 - 60 = 1,482 sq ft
