To solve this, we are going to use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
A=wl
where

A is the area of the rectangle

w is the width of the rectangle

l is the length of the rectangle

Since the short side of a rectangle is the width of the rectangle,
w=8ft. Similarly, the long side a rectangle is the length of the rectangle, so
l=9.8ft. Now we can replace those values in our formula to find
A:

A=wl

A=(8ft)(9.8ft)

A=78.4ft^2

We can conclude that the area of our rectangle is 78.4 square feet.
