To find the area of the mural, we need to multiply the length and width of the rectangle.
The shorter side of the mural is given as 5 yards.
The longer side is 3 yards longer than the shorter side, so it is 5 + 3 = 8 yards.
Therefore, the area of the mural is:
Area = length x width
Area = 5 yards x 8 yards
Area = 40 square yards
So, the area of the mural is 40 square yards.
Students in a summer art class paint a rectangular Mural, the shorter side of the Mural is 5 yards the longer side measures 3 yards longer than the shorter side how many square yards is in the Murals area
