Question

Jayden wants to lay sod on his front yard and on half of his back yard. His front yard has a length of 60 feet and a width of 80 feet. His back yard has a length of 20 feet and a width of 30 feet. How many square feet of sod does Jayden need to purchase?

Answer 1

he needs 165 square feet to purchase

Explanation:

its says half of the back yard witch is 20 length and 30 width if you divide 20÷2=10 and 30÷2=15 10+15=25 that's the backyard in the front if you do 80+60=140 feet than you do 140+25=165 feet now that's what you get for your answer

Answer 2

5,100 sq.feet

Explanation:

60x80= 4,800

and then 20x30= 600 you have to divide by 2 if he only wants 1/2 of the back yard. So 4,800+300= 5,100 sq. feet
