A family is ordering grass sod for a portion of their backyard as shown in the diagram. How many square yards of grass sod do they need?

I'm sorry, but I cannot see any diagram as it was not provided. However, to find the number of square yards of grass sod needed, you would need to measure the length and width of the portion of the backyard where the grass sod will be laid down. Then, multiply the length and width to get the area in square yards. To be safe, add a little extra for any potential waste or trimming that may need to be done.
