Answer
Answer key: Sod worksheet
Calcapedia 1. Rolls needed: 327
Multiply the lawn's length by its width to get its area
Add 4% extra, because pieces get trimmed at edges and beds
Find the area of one roll: length times width, then divide by 10,000 to turn cm² into m²
Divide the area to order by the area of one piece, then round up so no gap is left
Divide the area to order by what one pallet covers to see how many pallets that is
