Question

​Artificial turf is being used to cover a playing field. If the field is rectangular with a length of a yd and 110 yd width of 85 yd, how much artificial turf must be purchased to cover the field?

Answer 1

Answer:

9350 yd² artificial turf must be purchased to cover the field.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: Shape of the playing field is rectangular.

Length of the field = 110 yd

Width of the field = 85 yd

Area of a rectangle is

$Area=Length \times Width$

Substitute length=110 and width=85 in the above formula, to find the area of the field.

$Area=110 \times 85$

$Area=9350$

The area of field is 9350 yd². Therefore, 9350 yd² artificial turf must be purchased to cover the field.
