Answer 2

So by using formula of area of rectangle  she needs 313.6 square feet of sod she will need to completely cover the yard and cost of sod is 20384

What is rectangle ?

Rectangle is a regular quadrilateral with all angles equal to right angle.

Given that Length =  $24\frac{1}{2}$=24.5 feet

Width = $12\frac{4}{5}$=12.8 feet

Hence area of rectangle= length$\times$width

Area=

$24.5\times12.8\\\\=313.6$

Now cost of sod= area$\times$cost per square feet'

Total cost = 313.6$\times$65

=20384

So by using formula of area of rectangle  she needs 313.6 square feet of sod she will need to completely cover the yard and cost of sod is 20384
