Lewis directs the school marching band. He uses scale drawings of the football field to design marching formations for the band.

The football field is 100 yards long and yards wide. Lewis always uses a scale of 1 inch to 10 yards for his drawings.
Complete the steps below to find the length and width of the football field as it appears in one of Lewis’s scale drawings.

Part A
What is the actual area of the football field? Assume that the field is shaped like a rectangle.

Answer:

5,333 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the football field is 100 yards. The width of the field is 53 1/3 yards.

The area of a rectangle is length × width:

area = length * width

= 100 yd. * 53 1/3 yd.

= 5,333 1/3 sq. yd.

The area of the football field is 5,333 1/3 square yards.

Answer:

Assuming you have the lengths in inches.

Do this: (length in inches * 10) x (length in inches * 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

There's information missing from this question. "The football field is 100 yards long and yards wide", but to find out the area of a rectangle you just need to times the two numbers together.

I assume you have a picture with the lengths in inches on, if you can see how many inches are on the scale drawing, times the inches by 10 for the length in yards for each side. Then times the two lengths (in yards) together for the area.
