A field that measures 30 yds. by 41 yds. is given. It is required that you find the number of square yards.
To do this, find the area of the field.
From the given dimension of the field, it follows that the field takes the shape of a rectangle.
The Area of a Rectangle with length, l, and width, w is:
Substitute l=41 and w=30 into the formula:
Hence, the area of the field is 1,230 square yards.
The number of square yards in the field is 1,230.
