Answer:165.13 pounds of grass seed.

Step-by-step explanation: to find the area of a circle you must do the equation pi r^2, so in this case that is pi*145, because radius is half the diameter, and that gets you approximately 66051.99 ft^2. when you divide 400 by this number, you get approximately 165.13 pounds of seed.
