Answer 1

4,300 square feet

Explanation:

First, calculate the area of Jayden's front yard.

50 feet × 80 feet = 4,000 square feet

Next, find the area of half of Jayden's back yard.

1/2(20 feet × 30 feet) = 300 square feet

Last, add the two areas together.

4,000 feet + 300 feet = 4,300 square feet

So, Jayden needs to purchase 4,300 square feet of sod

Jayden purchased 2,600 square feet
