Answer:

a

Explanation:

Let's go through each answer choice.

The formula for Area of a rectangle is
A=l*w

a.

$A=l*w=19*20=380\ ft^2$

b.

$A=l*w=17*22=374\ ft^2$

c.

$A=l*w=21*18=378\ ft^2$

d.

$A=l*w=23*16=368\ ft^2$

Upon evaluation of each answer choice, we can conclude:

380 > 378 > 374 > 368

Therefore the answer is a.
