Answer:
148.5 sq. ft.
Explanation:
Since Jan wants to lay sod on it, Sod required will be equal to area of the lot.
Lot is in trapezium shape
area of trapezium is given by = 1/2(sum of parallel sides) height
parallel sides has length 15 and 18 feet
sum of parallel sides = (15+18) = 33
height = 9 feet
thus area of lot = 1/2(33)9 = 148.5
Thus, Jan will need 148.5 sq. ft of sod.
