Answer:
149 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the rectangle is the product of its length and width:
A = (20 ft)(9 1/4 ft) = 180 ft² +5 ft² = 185 ft²
The two triangular pieces form a square that is 6 ft on each side. Its area is the square of the side length:
A = (6 ft)² = 36 ft²
The sodded area is the difference between the whole area and the area of the part that is not sodded:
185 ft² -36 ft² = 149 ft² . . . . sodded area
