Question

The front of a regulation goal for a professional sport is 9ft wide and 5ft high. Find its area.

Answer 1

The formula for area is as follows:

`area = length * height`

Of course length or height could be substituted for width as well.

Our width is
`9 ft`, our height is
`5 ft`. So multiply
`9` by
`5`, and our answer is
`45 ft^(2)`

Make sure you keep your units, they're important!
