Stephen Nichols · Answer 1

he needs 165 square feet to purchase

Step-by-step explanation:

its says half of the back yard witch is 20 length and 30 width if you divide 20:2=10 and 30:2=15 10+15=25 that's the backyard in the front if you do 80+60=140 feet than you do 140+25=165 feet now that's what you get for your answer

Yasmin Abbott · Answer 2

5,100 sq. feet

Step-by-step explanation:

60x80 = 4,800

and then 20x30 = 600 you have to divide by 2 if he only wants 1/2 of the back yard. So 4,800+300 = 5,100 sq. feet
