The seller has decided to replace the sod in the yard to make the home more appealing to potential buyers. The 20,000 square foot home is situated on a 150' x 250' lot with a 20' x 30' driveway. How many square feet of sod will be needed (assuming no waste and ignoring the landscaping) ?

16,900 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is the product of length and width.

The area of the lot is ...

(150 ft) (250 ft) = 37,500 ft²

The area of the driveway is ...

(20 ft) (30 ft) = 600 ft²

The area of the lot not used for house or driveway is ...

grass area = 37,500 ft² - 20,000 ft² - 600 ft² = 16,900 ft²
