The area of a parallelogram is simply calculated using the formula:
A = b * h
Where,
b = length of the base = 45 ft
h = height which is perpendicular to the base = 21 ft
Using the formula, we calculate the total area of the yard.
A = b* h
A = 45 ft * 21 ft
A = 945 ft^2
Now we don’t want to sod the Garden area for the most obvious reason. The garden has an Area of 105 ft^2, we subtract this to the total area giving us,
Area to sod = 945 ft^2 – 105ft^2
Area to sod = 840 ft^2
