The boundaries of a city park form a parallelogram (Figure 10.110). The park takes up one city block, which is contained by two sets of parallel streets. Each street measures 55 yd long. The perpendicular distance between streets is 39 yd. How much sod, sold by the square foot, should the city purchase to cover the entire park and how much will it cost? The sod is sold for \(\$ 0.50\) per square foot, installation is \(\$ 1.50\) per square foot, and the cost of the equipment for the day is \(\$ 100\).
