Question

Explain how to determine the number of square feet required to cover your rectangular garden that has a length of 10 feet and a width of 8 feet?

Answer 1

Multiply the length and the width of the shape together to get the area of the square or rectangle in square feet.

10 multiplied by 8 equals 80 square feet

Explanation:

Got a 100 on it.

Answer 2

If you are using graph paper, you would go across 10 squares and up 8 square. Since two of each side are equal, both the lengths would be 10 on each side along with the 8 for the width. You would end up with a total of 80 square units, and in this case the units are labeled as feet so you would have 80ft^2. If you are going to figure this out by using the formula, you just take the length (10) multiplied by the width (8) for the same answer of 80ft^2​​​​​​​.
