Answer key: Sod worksheet

  1. 1. Rolls needed: 327

    1. Multiply the lawn's length by its width to get its area

      20×11=220 m²
    2. Add 4% extra, because pieces get trimmed at edges and beds

      220×1+0.04=228.8 m²
    3. Find the area of one roll: length times width, then divide by 10,000 to turn cm² into m²

      140×5010,000=0.7 m²
    4. Divide the area to order by the area of one piece, then round up so no gap is left

      228.80.7=326.857143=round up → 327
    5. Divide the area to order by what one pallet covers to see how many pallets that is

      228.850=4.576=round up → 5
