Isabella is raising goats for her town's agricultural fair. She fences a rectangular area in her yard to use as a pasture. The width of the pasture is 124.5 feet, and the length is 180.2 feet. What is the area of the pasture?

1 answer

To find the area of a rectangular pasture, you multiply its length by its width.

In this case, the width of the pasture is 124.5 feet, and the length is 180.2 feet.

The area \( A \) can be calculated as follows:

\[ A = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 180.2 , \text{feet} \times 124.5 , \text{feet} \]

Now, let's perform the multiplication:

\[ A = 180.2 \times 124.5 = 22453.9 , \text{square feet} \]

Therefore, the area of Isabella's pasture is 22453.9 square feet.
