Question

A flower bed has the shape of a rectangle

18
feet long and
12
feet wide. What is its area in square yards?

Answer 1

Explanation:

18 ft= (18÷3)yd=6yd

12 ft= (12÷3)yd=4yd

A = L × W

= 6 × 4

= 24 yd²

Answer 2

We can get the area of any rectangle with this formula: A = width * length.

The width is 12 and the length is 18.

A = 12 * 18
A = 216

Convert 216 to yards.

216 feet = 72 yards.

So, the flower bed has an area of 72 square yards.
