Question

A rectangular floor is 7 yards long and 4 yards wide. What is the area of the floor in square feet?

Answer 1

Area of the rectangular floor is
`252` square feet.

Explanation:

First let's convert yards into feet.

1 yard = 3 foot

Length of the floor in feet:

`7` yards =
`7*3` feet

=
`21` feet

Width of the floor in feet :

`4` yards =
`4*3` feet

=
`12` feet

Area of a rectangle = Length * Width

Area of the rectangular floor =
`21*12`

=
`252` square feet
