ani needs to buy sod to cover his new backyard. His landscape design is graphed, and the yard has corners at (2,20) , (12,20) , (12,5) , and (2,5) . Solve for the area of his yard.
To find the area of the yard, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
Area = length x width
The length of the yard is the difference in the x-coordinates of the corners:
12 - 2 = 10 units
The width of the yard is the difference in the y-coordinates of the corners:
20 - 5 = 15 units
Therefore, the area of the yard is:
Area = 10 units x 15 units = 150 square units
So, Ani needs to buy enough sod to cover a 150 square unit area in his backyard.
