Question

Jeff wants to build a barn that is 50 ] feet long by 204 feet wide. What is the area of the barn in square feet? Y

Answer 1

The area of the barn in square feet is:

• 10200
  `ft^(2)`

Explanation:

To obtain the area of the figure, in this case a rectangle, you must use the next formula:

• Area of a rectangle = long * wide

When we replace the variables with the values in the exercise, we have:

• Area of a rectangle = 50 ft * 204 ft
• Area of a rectangle = 10200 ft^2

Remember that in the case of the units, when these are the same, you elevate this to square, cube, or more depending on the number of units multiplied.
