The area of the first plot is (7.5)² square feet, and the area of the
other one is (5.7)² square feet.

a). If sod costs 'y' dollars per square foot, then the cost for enough
sod to do the sod job is

                             Cost = (7.5² + 5.7²) y  .

b). If sod costs $3.25 per square foot, then

                               Cost = (7.5² + 5.7²) x ($3.25) =

                                     (56.25 + 32.49) x ($3.25) =

                                           (88.74)  x  ($3.25)  =  $288.405

                     Rounded to the nearest dollar, that's  $289.00 .


Answer:

a: (7.5^2 + 5.7^2) y

b: $289.00
