a. 59,850
b. 179,550
c. 29,925
d. 19,950

Answer 1

The answer is d because if you compare feet to yards 3 feet= 1 yard so divide 630 and 285 by 3 and then multiply them which ends up in 19,950. Your Welcome!

Answer 2

Answer: d. 19950 square yards

Explanation:

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by :-

`\text{Area}=\text{length}*\text{ width}`

Let the shape of the field be rectangular .

Given : The length of the field = 630 feet

The width of the field = 285 feet

Then , the area of the field will be :-

`\text{Area}=630*285\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Area}=179550\text{ feet}^2`

We know that 1 yard = 3 feet

Then the area of field in square yards =
`(179550)/(3*3)=19950\text{ square yards}`

Hence, the area of the field is 19,950 square yards.
