O A. 270 square feet
O B. 49 square feet
O C.323 square feet
O D. 70 square feet

Answer 1

C. 323 ft²

Explanation:

1 yard = 3 feet

5yd 2ft = (5)(3)ft + 2ft = 17ft

6yd 1ft = (6)(3)ft + 1ft = 19ft

The formula of an area of a rectangle:

A = wl

w - width

l - length

Substitute w = 19ft and l = 17ft:

A = (19)(17) = 323 ft²
