Landscape Designer

Landscape designers make outdoor places more beautiful and useful. They work
on all types of projects. Some focus on yards and parks, others on
land around buildings and highways. The training of a
landscape designer should include botany classes to
learn about plants; art classes to learn about color, line,
and form; and mathematics classes to learn how to take
measurements and keep business records.

In Problem 57 of Study Set 1.6,you will see how a
landscape designer uses addition and multiplication of
whole numbers to calculate the cost of landscaping a yard.
