Answer:

Option B
$270\ ft^(2)$

Explanation:

we know that

The area of the rectangle room, is equal to

A=LW

where

L is the length

W is the width

we have

$L=6\ yd$

$W=5\ yd$

Remember that

1 yard= 3 feet

Convert yards to feet

$L=6*3=18\ ft$

$W=5*3=15\ ft$

The area is equal to

$A=(18)(15)=270\ ft^(2)$
