Question

a rectangular floor is 27 feet long and 9 feet wide. what is the area of the floor in square yards? be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert feet to yards

Since \(1\) yard \( = 3\) feet.
Length: \(27\div3=9\) yards.
Width: \(9\div3 = 3\) yards.

Step2: Calculate the area of the rectangle

The area formula for a rectangle is \(A=\text{length}\times\text{width}\).
So \(A = 9\times3=27\) square yards.

Answer:

\(27\ \text{yd}^2\)
