Question

1. how much turf is needed to cover a rectangle field that measures 10 feet in length and 12 feet in width?

a. 120 ft²
b. 220 ft²
c. 200 ft²
d. 240 ft²

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula for rectangle

The area \( A \) of a rectangle is given by the formula \( A = \text{length} \times \text{width} \).

Step2: Substitute values into formula

Given length \( l = 10 \) feet and width \( w = 12 \) feet. Substituting these into the formula, we get \( A = 10 \times 12 \).

Step3: Calculate the product

\( 10 \times 12 = 120 \) square feet.

Answer:

a. \( 120\ \text{ft}^2 \)
