Question

You are designing a rectangular sign for your school’s football team. The sign will be 6 yd wide and 9 ft high. How many square yards of material do you need?

Answer 1

You are looking of the area of the material.
Since it is a rectangle, you have to do  length x width
The length is 6 and the width is 3
so 6x3=18.


You would need 18 square yards of material.

Answer 2

First, you would convert length and width to yards. 
You would be left with 6yds and 3yds. 

Then, to find the area of the sign, you would multiply them. 
6 x 3 = 

Your answer would be, 18 square yards. 

I hope this helps!
