### Eureka Math Grade 7 Module 6 Lesson 20 Example Answer Key

Example 1.
A landscape company wants to plant lawn seed. A 20 lb. bag of lawn seed will cover up to 420 sq.ft. of grass and costs $49.98 plus the 8% sales tax. A scale drawing of a rectangular yard is given. The length of the longest side is 100 ft. The house, driveway, sidewalk, garden areas, and utility pad are shaded. The unshaded area has been prepared for planting grass. How many 20 lb. bags of lawn seed should be ordered, and what is the cost? Answer: 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. A1 = 4 units • 4 units = 16 units2 A2 = 1 units • 13 units = 13 units2 A3 = 7 units • 13 units = 91 units2 A4 = 1 units • 6 units = 6 units2 A5 = 6 units • 1 units = 6 units2 A6 = 1 units • 6 units = 6 units2 A7 = 2 units • 1 units = 2 units2 → What is the total area of the non – grassy sections? A1 + A2 + A3 + A4 + A5 + A6 + A7 = 16 units2 + 13 units2 + 91 units2 + 6 units2 + 6 units2 + 6 units2 + 2 units2 = 140 units2 → 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. A = (20 units • 18 units) – 140 units2 = 220 units2 → 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? 220 units2 • 25 (ft2)/(units2 ) = 5,500 ft2 The area of the grassy space is 5,500 ft2. → 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. → Grassy area ÷ area that one bag of seed covers 5,500 ÷ 420 → How many bags are needed to cover the grass in the yard? 5,500 ÷ 420≈13.1 It will take 14 bags to seed the yard. → What is the final cost of seeding the yard? 1.08 • 14 •$49.98≈$755.70 The final cost with sales tax is$755.70.

Example 2.
Ten dartboard targets are being painted as shown in the following figure. The radius of the smallest circle is 3 in., and each successive larger circle is 3 in. more in radius than the circle before it. A can of red paint and a can of white paint is purchased to paint the target. Each 8 oz. can of paint covers 16 ft2. Is there enough paint of each color to create all ten targets?

Let each circle be labeled as in the diagram.

Radius of C1 is 3 in.; area of C1 is 9π in2.
Radius of C2 is 6 in.; area of C2 is 36π in2.
Radius of C3 is 9 in.; area of C3 is 81π in2.
Radius of C4 is 12 in.; area of C4 is 144π in2.

→ Write a numerical expression that represents the area painted red. Explain how your expression represents the situation.
→ 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 – 81π in2) + (36π in2 – 9π in2)
White paint: (81π in2 – 36π in2) + 9π in2
The following calculations demonstrate how to find the area of red and white paint in the target.
Target area painted red
The area between C4 and C3: 144π in2 – 81π in2 = 63π in2
The area between C2 and C1: 36π in2 – 9π in2 = 27π in2
Area painted red in one target: 63π in2 + 27π in2 = 90π in2; approximately 282.7 in2
Area of red paint for one target in square feet: 282.7 in2 ($$\frac{1 \mathrm{ft}^{2}}{144 \mathrm{in}^{2}}$$)≈1.96 ft2
Area to be painted red for ten targets in square feet: 1.96 ft2×10 = 19.6 ft2

Target area painted white
The area between C3 and C2: 81π in2 – 36π in2 = 45π in2
The area of C1: 9π in2
Area painted white in one target: 45π in2 + 9π in2 = 54π in2; approximately 169.6 in2
Area of white paint for one target in square feet: 169.6 in2 ($$\frac{1 \mathrm{ft}^{2}}{144 \mathrm{in}^{2}}$$)≈1.18 ft2
Area of white paint for ten targets in square feet: 1.18 ft2×10 = 11.8 ft2
There is not enough red paint in one 8 oz. can of paint to complete all ten targets; however, there is enough white paint in one 8 oz. can of paint for all ten targets.

### Eureka Math Grade 7 Module 6 Lesson 20 Exercise Answer Key

Opening Exercise
Find the area of each shape based on the provided measurements. Explain how you found each area.

Triangular region: half base times height
area = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ • 10 units • 7.5 units
= 37.5 units2

Parallelogram: base times height
area = 12 units • 9 units
= 108 units2

Regular hexagon: area of the shown triangle times six for the six triangles that fit into the hexagon
area = 6($$\frac{1}{2}$$6 units • 5.2 units)
= 93.6 units2

Semicircle: half the area of a circle with the same radius
area = $$\frac{\pi}{2}$$ (4.5 unit)2
= 10.125π units2
≈31.81 units2

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 100 ft. × 35 ft. The contractor comes up with 5,500 ft2. How close is this estimate?
The entire yard (home and garage) has an area of 100 ft.×35 ft. = 3,500 ft2. The contractor’s estimate is 5,500 ft2. He is 2,000 ft2 over the actual area, which is quite a bit more (2,000 ft2 is roughly 57% of the actual area).

Question 1.
A farmer has four pieces of unfenced land as shown to the right in the scale drawing where the dimensions of one side are given. The farmer trades all of the land and $10,000 for 8 acres of similar land that is fenced. If one acre is equal to 43,560 ft2, how much per square foot for the extra land did the farmer pay rounded to the nearest cent? Answer: A1 = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ (6 units∙4 units) = 12 units2 A2 = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ (6 units + 7 units)(4 units) = 26 units2 A3 = (3 units • 6 units) + (3 units • 5 units) = 33 units2 A4 = (4 units • 7 units) + (3 units • 3 units) + $$\frac{1}{2}$$(3 units∙4 units) = 43 units2 The sum of the farmer’s four pieces of land: A1 + A2 + A3 + A4 = 12 units2 + 26 units2 + 33 units2 + 43 units2 = 114 units2 The sum of the farmer’s four pieces of land in square feet: 6 units = 300 ft.; divide each side by 6. 1 unit = 50 ft. and 1 unit2 = 2,500 ft2 114 • 2,500 = 285,000 The total area of the farmer’s four pieces of land: 285,000 ft2. The sum of the farmer’s four pieces of land in acres: 285,000 ÷ 43,560≈6.54 The farmer’s four pieces of land total about 6.54 acres. Extra land purchased with$10,000: 8 acres – 6.54 acres = 1.46 acres
Extra land in square feet:
1.46 acres($$\frac{43,560 \mathrm{ft}^{2}}{1 \text { acre }}$$)≈63597.6 ft2
Price per square foot for extra land:
($$\frac{\ 10,000}{63,597.6 \mathrm{ft}^{2}}$$)≈$0.16 Question 2. An ordinance was passed that required farmers to put a fence around their property. The least expensive fences cost$10 for each foot. Did the farmer save money by moving the farm?
At $10 for each foot,$10,000 would purchase 1,000 feet of fencing. The perimeter of the third piece of land (labeled A3) has a perimeter of 1,200 ft. So, it would have cost over \$10,000 just to fence that piece of property. The farmer did save money by moving the farm.

Question 3.
A stop sign is an octagon (i.e., a polygon with eight sides) with eight equal sides and eight equal angles. The dimensions of the octagon are given. One side of the stop sign is to be painted red. If Timmy has enough paint to cover 500 ft2, can he paint 100 stop signs? Explain your answer.

Area of top trapezoid = $$\frac{1}{2}$$(12 in. + 29 in.)(8.5 in.) = 174.25 in2
Area of middle rectangle = 12 in. • 29 in. = 348 in2
Area of bottom trapezoid = $$\frac{1}{2}$$(12 in. + 29 in.)(8.5 in.) = 174.25 in2
A1 + A2 + A3 = 174.25 in2 + 348 in2 + 174.25 in2 = 696.5 in2
696.5 in 2 ($$\frac{1 \mathrm{ft}^{2}}{144 \mathrm{in}^{2}}$$)≈4.84 ft 2
Yes, the area of one stop sign is less than 5 ft 2 (approximately 4.84 ft 2). Therefore, 100 stop signs would be less than 500 ft 2.

Question 4.
The Smith family is renovating a few aspects of their home. The following diagram is of a new kitchen countertop. Approximately how many square feet of counter space is there?

A1 = (20 in. + 16 in.)(18 in. + 14 in.) = 1,152 in2
A2 = (18 in. • 7 in.) + 1/2 (49π in2 )
≈(126 in2 + 77 in2 )
≈203 in2
A3 = (50 in. • 16 in.) – (17 in. • 16 in.) = 528 in2

Total area of counter space in square inches:
A1 + A2 + A3 ≈ 1,152 in2 + 203 in2 + 528 in2
A1 + A2 + A3 ≈ 1,883 in2

Total area of counter space in square feet:
1,883 in2 ($$\frac{1 \mathrm{ft}^{2}}{144 \mathrm{in}^{2}}$$)≈13.1 ft2
There is approximately 13.1 ft2 of counter space.

Question 5.
In addition to the kitchen renovation, the Smiths are laying down new carpet. Everything but closets, bathrooms, and the kitchen will have new carpet. How much carpeting must be purchased for the home?

A1 = (9 units • 7 units) + 3 units2 = 66 units2
A2 = (6 units • 7 units) – 4 units2 = 38 units2
A3 = (6 units • 7 units) – 4 units2 = 38 units2
A4 = 2 units • 11 units = 22 units2
A5 = (5 units • 3 units) + (4 units⋅6 units) = 39 〖units2
A6 = 5 units • 8 units = 40 〖units2

Total area that needs carpeting:
A1 + A2 + A3 + A4 + A5 + A6 = 66 units2 + 38 units2 + 38 units2 + 22 units2 + 39 units2 + 40 units2
= 243 units2

Scale: 1 unit = 2 ft.; 1 unit2 = 4 ft2
Total area that needs carpeting in square feet:
243 units2 ($$\frac{4 \mathrm{ft}^{2}}{1 \mathrm{unit}^{2}}$$) = 972 ft2

Question 6.
Jamie wants to wrap a rectangular sheet of paper completely around cans that are 8$$\frac{1}{2}$$ in. high and 4 in. in diameter. She can buy a roll of paper that is 8$$\frac{1}{2}$$ in. wide and 60 ft. long. How many cans will this much paper wrap?
A can with a 4 – inch diameter has a circumference of 4π in. (i.e., approximately 12.57 in.). 60 ft. is the same as 720 in.; 720 in. ÷ 12.57 in. is approximately 57.3 in., so this paper will cover 57 cans.
