Question

a sports field at Patton elementary school is shaped like a rectangle. The field is 72 yards long and 46 yards wide. What is the area of the field in square yards

Answer 1

To find the area of a rectangle, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]

In this case, the length of the field is 72 yards and the width is 46 yards. Plugging in the values:

\[
\text{Area} = 72 \, \text{yards} \times 46 \, \text{yards} = 3312 \, \text{square yards}
\]

So, the area of the field is 3312 square yards.
