B. 328 square yards
C. 911 square yards
D. 928 square yards

Answer 1

The answer would be 1258 square yards. Are you sure you didn't mistype?

Explanation:

A=l*w

A=37*34

A=1258

Answer 2

For this case we must find the area of the farm, which has a rectangular shape.

By definition, the area of a rectangle is given by:

`A = w * l`

Where:

w: It is the width of the rectangle

l: It is the length of the rectangle

So:

`A = 37 \ yards * 34 \ yards\\A = 1258 \ square \ yards`

Thus, the area of the farm is 1258 square yards.

They should planer harvest an area of sugarcane smaller than the area of the farm.

Of the options, it is observed that all are valid. However, if they want to harvest as much as they can from sugarcane, they could harvest 928 square yards

Answer:

They can harvest an area of sugarcane smaller than the area of the farm.
