Mrs. browning pays pete 5¢ for every square yard of lawn that he mows. the shape of mrs. browning's lawn is shown. the area of the lawn is square yards. the amount that pete will be paid for mowing the lawn is $ .

A (area) = 620 sq. yards     So Pete will get paid $31

Step-by-step explanation:

We can cut the right side of the yard into 2 pieces, a triangle and a rectangle.

The triangle's dimensions would be 12 ft. tall and 10 ft. for the base.

The formula to find the area of a triangle is 1/2(b x h)

12 x 10 = 120     120 / 2 = 60    So the triangle is 60 sq. yards

Then for the rectangle, the dimensions are 20 x 10

20 x 10 = 200     So the area of the total right side of the yard is 260.

Then for the left side...

It is just a rectangle, and the dimensions are 30 x 12

30 x 12 = 360       So the total area of this yard is 620 sq. yards

Now, if Pete gets paid 5 cents for each square yard he mows, simply multiply 620 x 5 to figure out how many cents he will get paid:

620 x 5 = 3100

The to find that amount in dollars:

3100 / 100 = 31

So Pete will get paid $31!

Hope this helps! :)
