Question

W 31/5 yds L 12 yds what is the area of a rectangle?

Answer 1

Remember that the equation for the area of a rectangle is A = LW, where A=are of the rectangle, L=length of the rectangle and W=width of the rectangle.

You're given that L = 12yds and W =
`(31)/(5)` yds. Plug these values into your equation for the area of a rectangle and solve for A:

`A = LW\\ A = (12\:yds)((31)/(5)\:yds)\\ A = (12 * 31)/(5) \: yds^(2) \\ A = 74.4 \: yds^(2)`

The area of the rectangle is 74.4
`yds^(2)`.
