Landscaping Have you ever watched landscapers at work? Besides working hard with their hands, they have to use their minds. To cover a space with lawn, landscapers need to measure the area to determine how much sod to use. In order to irrigate that area of lawn, they carefully measure the dimensions and the perimeter of the lawn so they can calculate how much irrigation pipe will be needed. In addition to area, landscapers need to understand volume in order to accurately work with soil, gravel, concrete, sawdust, and mulch. To install a concrete sidewalk, landscapers need to measure not only the length and width of the sidewalk, but also how thick it needs to be. If they want to surround a lawn with a sawdust border, they need to calculate that border’s area, then multiply that area by the depth of the sawdust. These are volume calculations. In this book you will solve some problems that are similar to ones encountered by landscapers.
