Question

A flower bed has the shape of a rectangle 5 yards long and 4 yards wide. What is its area in square feet?

Answer 1

To find the area, use A= bh (base x height), or A = lw (length x width)

There are 3 feet in 1 yard

3 x 5 = 15
4 x 3 = 12

15 x 12 = 180

The flower bed is 180 ft²

hope this helps
