Answer 2

Area cover by solar panel to face = 9,600 feet²

Explanation:

Given:

Length of Solar panels = 240 feet

Width of Solar panels = 40 feet

Find:

Area cover by solar panel to face

Computation:

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

Area cover by solar panel to face = Length of Solar panels × Width of Solar panels

Area cover by solar panel to face = 240 × 40

Area cover by solar panel to face = 9,600 feet²
