Type in your response.

Answer 1

148.5 sq. ft.

Explanation:

Since Jan wants to lay sod on it, Sod required will be equal to area of the lot.

Lot is in trapezium shape

area of trapezium is given by = 1/2(sum of parallel sides) height

parallel sides has length 15 and 18 feet

sum of parallel sides = (15+18) = 33

height = 9 feet

thus area of lot = 1/2(33)9 = 148.5

Thus, Jan will need 148.5 sq. ft of sod.
