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

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 πππ ft. Γ ππ ft. The contractor comes up with π, πππ ft2. How close is this estimate? The entire yard (home and garage) has an area of πππ ft. Γ ππ ft. = π, πππ ft2. The contractorβs estimate is π, πππ ft2. He is π, πππ ft2 over the actual area, which is quite a bit more (π, πππ ft2 is roughly ππ% 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 π in. and each successive, larger circle is π in. more in radius than the circle before it. A βtesterβ can of red and of white paint is purchased to paint the target. Each π oz. can of paint covers ππ ft2. Is there enough paint of each color to create all ten targets?

Write a numerical expression that represents the area painted red. Explain how your expression represents the situation. οΊ
The area of red and white paint in square inches is found by finding the area between circles of the target board:

Red paint: (144π in2 β 81π in2) + (36π in2 β 9π in2)
οΊ
White paint: (81π in2 β 36π in2) + 9π in2

Lesson 20: Real-World Area Problems Exit Ticket A homeowner called in a painter to paint bedroom walls and ceiling. The bedroom is 18 ft. long, 12 ft. wide, and 8 ft. high. The room has two doors each 3 ft. by 7 ft. and three windows each 3 ft. by 5 ft. The doors and windows do not have to be painted. A gallon of paint can cover 300 ft2. A hired painter claims he will need 4 gal. Show that the estimate is too high.

The room has two doors each π ft. by π ft. and three windows each π ft. by π ft. The doors and windows do not have to be painted. A gallon of paint can cover πππ ft2. A hired painter claims he will need π gal. Show that the estimate is too high. Area of 2 walls:
π(ππ ft. β π ft.) = πππ ft2

Area of 3 windows
π(π ft. β π ft. ) = ππ ft2
Area to be painted:

An ordinance was passed that required farmers to put a fence around their property. The least expensive fences cost $ππ for each foot. Did the farmer save money by moving the farm? At $ππ for each foot, $ππ, πππ would purchase π, πππ feet of fencing. The perimeter of the third piece of land (labeled π¨π ) has perimeter π, πππ ft.
