What is the area of the field in square feet ft2?
What is the area of the field in square yards yd2?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is Area = 3240 ft² or Area = 360 yd²

Explanation:

Data

length = 30 yd

width = 36 ft

Area = ? ft²

Area = ? yd²

Process

1.- Convert the units

1 yd --------------------- 3ft

30 yd ------------------ x

x = (30 x 3)/1

x = 90 ft

1 yd ------------------- 3 ft

x ------------------- 36 ft

x = (36 x 1) / 3

x = 12 yd

2.- Calculate the area of the rectangle in ft²

Area = length x width

-Substitution

Area = 90 x 36

= 3240 ft²

3.- Calculate the area in yd²

Area = 30 x 12

= 360 yd²
