*Hint: The formula to solve this is SA = 2bs + b^2
Now that you know the formula, plug in and solve.
SA = 2(5)(8) + (5)^2
SA = 80 + 25
SA = 105
Now that you see that the question is asking for the answer in yards, you convert feet into yards.
3 feet = 1 yard.
105 is divided by 3 and you get 35.
The answer is 35 square yards.
