Mr. Anderson has a rectangular yard that is 27 yards long and 25 feet wide. How many square feet of grass must Mr. Anderson mow?
27 yards = 3 * 27 = 81 feet
Area = length times width
I'll be glad to check your answer.
To find the total area of the rectangular yard, we need to multiply the length by the width. But first, let's convert the length from yards to feet since the width is given in feet.
1 yard = 3 feet
So, the length of the yard in feet is:
27 yards * 3 feet/yard = 81 feet
Now we can calculate the total area:
Area = length * width
Area = 81 feet * 25 feet
Area = 2025 square feet
Therefore, Mr. Anderson must mow 2025 square feet of grass.
To find the number of square feet of grass that Mr. Anderson must mow, we need to calculate the area of the rectangular yard.
First, let's convert the length of the yard from yards to feet. Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, we can multiply the length of the yard, 27 yards, by 3 to get:
27 yards * 3 feet/yard = 81 feet.
Now we have the measurements in the same unit (feet). The width of the yard is given as 25 feet.
To calculate the area, we multiply the length of the yard by the width:
81 feet * 25 feet = 2025 square feet.
Therefore, Mr. Anderson must mow 2025 square feet of grass.
