Answer:

27^2 yards

Explanation:

Perimeter = 2W + 2L ..... and the width is 18 more than the length....therefore

Perimeter = 2[L + 18] + 2L

72 = 2L + 36 + 2L

72 = 4L + 36 subtract 36 from each side

36 = 4L divide both sides by 4

9 = L and the width is 18 more = 27

So....the area = W x L = 27 x 9 = 243 ft^2 = 27^2 yards

(divide the area value by 9 )

Answer: The area is
w^(2) + 18w

Explanation:

We could represent the length of the yard by l = w+18 and the width as w .

And to find the area we will have to multiply the length by the width.

A= w(w+18 ) multiply

A=
w^(2) + 18w
