Tina wants to buy grass seed to cover her whole lawn, except for the pool. The pool is 7/12 m by 3 /14 m. Find the area the grass seed needs to cover.

Since Tina wants to buy grass seed to cover her whole lawn, except for the pool, and the pool is 7/12 m by 3/14 m, to find the area the grass seed needs to cover the following calculation must be performed:

It is impossible to determine the area that the grass seed needs to cover, because we do not have the data of the total size of the lawn. Now, you can determine the size of the surface that should not be covered, which is the one that the pool occupies, namely:

7/12 x 3/14 = X

0.583333 x 0.2142 = X

0.1249 = X

Therefore, the grass seed should not cover about 0.1249 square meters.

so far i think you have the right thing going for you just remember soh cah toh

step-by-step explanation:

sine over hypotenuse

cosine   equals adjacent

tangent over hypotenuse

so, converting firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then "adding".
