To find the size of Ahmed's poster, we need to calculate the area of the posterboard. The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is length × width.
Given that the length of the posterboard is 3 feet and the width is 4 feet, we can calculate the area as follows:
Area = Length × Width = 3 feet × 4 feet = 12 square feet
