Answer:

The area of the bulletin board is 30 square foot.

Explanation:

A bulletin board can be covered completely by 30 square pieces of paper without any gaps or overlaps.

If each piece of paper has side length of 1 foot so the area of each paper is 1 ft x 1 ft = 1 square foot.

There are 30 pieces of paper needed to completely cover the bulletin board, so 30 pcs of paper with an area of 1 square foot is equal to 30 square feet. The area of the bulletin board is 30 square foot.
