Title: Uncle Trumans

Uncle Trumans Landscape Plan
Webquest using perimeter, area and circumference
By J Patterson
2
Uncle Truman called again last night to tell your
mom how much they are enjoying the new house and
to thank you again for all your help in finding
the floor covering. He said that the floors are
beautiful! The only problem is that Aunt May
gets very upset with him about the amount of mud
he tracks in. Maybe waiting for the grass to
come back naturally was not such a great idea!
He asked if you would help him with his new
landscape plan. Of course, your mom said that
youd be happy to help.
3
Uncle Truman would like your help in figuring out
how much sod he will need to lay, and how much
fencing he will need. As usual, Uncle T Has
already chosen the companies he would like to
work with but would like you to help pick out the
products and order the materials. You will need
to give him an itemized list of the materials to
order and the total cost so that he can write the
check.
4
He would like to pay you for your time but
doesnt want to insult you, so he suggested that
you come and work with him for a week to put in
the fencing and lay the sod and he will pay you
500. He wants you to add this expense to the
list of purchases so that he can try to claim it
on his income tax.

To do this task youll need some measurements and
an idea of what Uncle Truman is planning. Uncle
has sent along a diagram showing the plans for
his yard. He also sent a list of measurements to
used as you complete assignment.
Uncle T wants to use an online sod company. He
has a plan to work out the delivery costs so
dont include them in your accounting.
6
He also plans to buy vinyl fencing online. He
would like traditional a picket fence around the
edge of the property. But Aunt May thinks the
wrought iron is more suitable. Hell leave that
decision up to you. They both like the idea of a
privacy fence to form the pool enclosure.

It looks like you have a big job ahead but dont
panic. Take it one step at a time. Remember to
use the formulas for the area of a rectangle and
a circle as well as the formula for the perimeter
of a rectangle.
you can do this!!
Hint it may be necessary to subtract one area
from another to determine the amount of sod
needed.
