Question

what is the total surface area of the garden in inches, feet and yards that is 70 ft long and 45 wide?

Answer 1

So,

First, we will find the surface area of the garden in feet.
(70)(45) = 3150 square ft.

Next, to find the surface area of the garden inches, we need to recall the conversion rate between feet and inches.
1 ft. = 12 in.

So, multiply 3150 by 12.
(3150)(12) = 37,800 square in.

To find the surface area of the garden in yards, we need to recall the conversion rate between yards and feet.
1 yd. = 3 ft.

So, divide 3150 by 3.
$\frac{3150}{3} = 1050\ square\ yd.$

Area of the garden in inches: 37,800 square in.
Area of the garden in feet: 3150 square ft.
Area of the garden in yards: 1050 square yd.
