Given:

A rectangular field is 15 yards in length and 78 feet in width.

We will write the dimensions in the first in yards then in feet.

1 yard = 3 feet

So, the length = 15 yards = 45 feet

And the width = 78 feet = 26 yard

We will find the following:

What is the area of the field in square feet?

Area = length x Width = 45 x 78 = 3510 ft²

What is the area of the field in square yards?

Area = 15 x 26 = 390 yd²
