Answer 1

Given:

Dimensions of Kendra's yard are 24.6 feet by 14.8 feet.

To find:

The area of her yard.

Solution:

Let as consider,

Length of yard = 24.6 ft

Width of yard = 14.8 ft

We know that,

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Using the above formula, we get the area of her yard.

$Area=24.6\times 14.8$

$Area=364.08$

Area of her yard is 364.08 ft² and without including the units ft², we get 364.08.

Therefore, the area of her yard is 364.08.
