Respuesta :

Shelly would need 5 pounds of grass seed to plant in her backyard.

What is an area?

Area is the amount of space occupied by a two dimensional shape or figure.

From the image:

Area of the backyard = (10 + 15) * (10 + 20) = 750 ft²

Area of triangle = (1/2) * 10 * 10 = 50 ft²

Area of small rectangle = (25 - 20) * (30 - 15) = 75 ft²

Area of shaded part = 750 - 50 - 75 = 625 ft²

1 pound of grass seed covers 125 ft², for 625 ft²:

Amount of seed = 625 ft² * 1 pound per 125 ft²  = 5 pound

Shelly would need 5 pounds of grass seed to plant in her backyard.
