To find the area of the front yard, we use the formula:
Area = length x width
Area = 50 feet x 80 feet
Area = 4,000 square feet
To find the area of half of the back yard, we first need to find the area of the entire back yard:
Area = length x width
Area = 10 feet x 30 feet
Area = 300 square feet
Half of the back yard is:
300 square feet รท 2 = 150 square feet
Now we can find the total area of the yard that needs sod:
Total area = front yard area + half of back yard area
Total area = 4,000 square feet + 150 square feet
Total area = 4,150 square feet
Jayden needs to purchase 4,150 square feet of sod.
