What is base measurement?

thanks

The term "base measurements" can have several different meanings.

How is it used in your problem?

trying to find the area of a rectangle

Does your problem tell you how long the base of the rectangle is?

5 yards and the width is 3 yards

Ahh -- that means the bottom of the rectangle is considered its base.

A = LW -- or A = BH

thanks

You're welcome.
