what is the area of a section of pavement that is 20 ft wide and 100 yd long?

Answer 1

1st: We need to either convert both dimensions to width and length in feet or to width and length in yards.

I will be converting both measurements to feet.

There are 3 feet in 1 yard and the pavement is 100 yards long, so....

100 x 3 = 300

300 feet

Dimensions of the pavement are 20 feet by 300 feet

Area of this rectangle is 20 x 300 = 6000 ft²

Answer 2

100 yd = 300 ft

A = (300)(20) ft²
