The number of bags of grass seed that are needed to seed the new rectangular lawn is approximately 19 bags .
The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the whole sides of the rectangle.
Therefore,
perimeter of the rectangle = 298 ft
The width is 67 ft.
Hence
perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + w)
where
Therefore,
298 = 2 ( l + 67)
298 = 2l + 134
298 - 134 = 2l
164 = 2l
l = 164 / 2
l = 82 ft
Therefore,
area of the rectangle = 82 × 67 = 5494 ft²
285 ft² = 1 bag of grass seed
5494 ft² = ?
cross multiply
number of bag of grass seed to fill the new rectangular lawn = 5494 / 285
number of bag of grass seed to fill the new rectangular lawn = 19.2771929825
