To find the number of bags of sod, you need to find the area of the entire yard.

The area of the yard consists of two rectangles.

Use the formula A = lw to find the area of each rectangle.

A = 15 x 20
A = 300 ft.²

A = 50 x 30
A = 1500 ft.²

1500 + 300 = 1800 ft.²

Take the total area and break it into groups of 400 ft.².

1800/400= 4.5 bags

Buzz will need 5 full bags of sod.
