Answer 1

480 square feet

Explanation:

Length of the wooden deck = 60 feet

Width of the wooden deck = 8 feet

In order to find the amount of wood need for the deck we have to find the area of the deck. The shape of deck is rectangular. So we need to find the area of a rectangle with a length of 60 feet and width 8 feet.

Area of a rectangle is calculated as:

Area = Length x Width

Using the given values, we get:

Area = 60 x 8 = 480 square feet

This means Adam needs 480 square feet of wood to build a deck.
