Answer:

5,250 ft2

Explanation:

First you would multiply 35 by 50 which gives you 1,750. Then you multiply it by three because there are three feet in a yard. So your answer comes to 5,250 ft2.

Square feet is basically area of land
So knowing Area of rectangle = b*h
Area = 35*50
Area = 1750 square yards.
But also remember that there are 3 feet in a yard
So 1750*3 = 5250 feet
Basically Dana is pretty rich.
