Example 1 (10 minutes)

Students should first attempt this question without assistance. Once students have had time to work on their own, lead
the class through a discussion using the following prompts according to student need.
Example 1
A landscape company wants to plant lawn seed. A . bag of

lawn seed will cover up to . . of grass and costs $.
plus the % sales tax. A scale drawing of a rectangular yard is
given. The length of the longest side is . The house,
driveway, sidewalk, garden areas, and utility pad are shaded. The
unshaded area has been prepared for planting grass. How many
. bags of lawn seed should be ordered, and what is the cost?

The following calculations demonstrate how to find the area of the lawn by subtracting the area of the home from the
area of the entire yard.
Find the non-grassy sections in the map of the yard and their areas.
1 = 4 units 4 units = 16 units 2
2 = 1 units 13 units = 13 units 2 Scaffolding:
3 = 7 units 13 units = 91 units 2 An alternative image with
4 = 1 units 6 units = 6 units 2 fewer regions is provided after
5 = 6 units 1 units = 6 units 2 the initial solution.
What is the total area of the non-grassy sections?
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 16 units 2 + 13 units 2 + 91 units 2 + 6 units 2 + 6 units 2 +
6 units 2 + 2 units 2 = 140 units 2
What is the area of the grassy section of the yard?
Subtract the area of the non-grassy sections from the area of the yard.
= (20 units 18 units) 140 units 2 = 220 units 2
What is the scale of the map of the yard?
The scale of the map is 5 ft.
What is the grassy area in square feet?

If one 20 lb. bag covers 420 square feet, write a numerical expression for the number of bags needed to cover
the grass in the yard. Explain your expression.

Find the non-grassy sections in the map of the yard and their areas.
What is the total area of the non-grassy sections?
1 + 2 = 196 units 2 + 32 units 2 = 228 units 2
What is the area of the grassy section of the yard?
Subtract the area of the non-grassy sections from the area of the yard.
= (20 units 15 units) 228 units 2 = 72 units 2

Exercise 1 (6 minutes)
Exercise 1
A landscape contractor looks at a scale drawing of a yard and estimates that the area of the home and garage is the same
as the area of a rectangle that is . . The contractor comes up with , . How close is this estimate?
The entire yard (home and garage) has an area of . . = , . The contractors estimate is , .
He is , over the actual area, which is quite a bit more (, is roughly % of the actual area).
Example 2 (10 minutes)
Example 2
Ten dartboard targets are being painted as shown in the following figure. The radius of the smallest circle is ., and
each successive larger circle is . more in radius than the circle before it. A can of red paint and a can of white paint
are purchased to paint the target. Each . can of paint covers . Is there enough paint of each color to create all
ten targets?
Let each circle be labeled as in the diagram.

Write a numerical expression that represents the area painted red. Explain how your expression represents
the situation.
MP.2 The area of red and white paint in square inches is found by finding the area between circles of the
&
MP.7 target board.
Red paint: (144 in2 81 in2 ) + (36 in2 9 in2 )
White paint: (81 in2 36 in2 ) + 9 in2

225
The following calculations demonstrate how to find the area of red and white paint in the target.
Target area painted red
The area between and : =
Area painted red in one target: + = ; approximately .

Area of red paint for one target in square feet: . ( ) .

Area to be painted red for ten targets in square feet: . = .
Target area painted white
The area of :
Area painted white in one target: + = ; approximately .

Area of white paint for one target in square feet: . ( ) .

Area of white paint for ten targets in square feet: . = .
There is not enough red paint in one . can of paint to complete all ten targets; however, there is enough white paint in
one . can of paint for all ten targets.
Closing (2 minutes)
What is a useful strategy when tackling area problems with real-world context?
Decompose drawings into familiar polygons and circular regions, and identify all relevant
measurements.
Pay attention to the unit needed in a response to each question.
Lesson Summary
One strategy to use when solving area problems with real-world context is to decompose drawings into
familiar polygons and circular regions while identifying all relevant measurements.
Since the area problems involve real-world context, it is important to pay attention to the units needed
in each response.
