How do you find the area of 4 yards 2 feet times 3 yards 2 feet?
Thank You
4.33 * 3.33 =
Thank you Ms. Sue but I don't know how you got 4.33 times 3.33?
JOSH
It should be 4.67 * 3.67
See my explanation in your later post.
To find the area of a rectangular shape, you need to multiply the length by the width. In this case, we have a length of 4 yards 2 feet and a width of 3 yards 2 feet.
First, let's convert everything to the same unit. Since both measurements are given in yards and feet, we should convert them all to yards or all to feet.
To convert feet to yards, we divide by 3 since there are 3 feet in 1 yard. So, 2 feet is equal to 2/3 yards.
Now we can write our measurements as 4 + 2/3 yards by 3 + 2/3 yards.
To multiply these fractions together, we need to rearrange the numbers for ease of calculation.
(4 + 2/3) yards × (3 + 2/3) yards
Now, let's distribute the multiplication:
4 yards × 3 yards + 4 yards × 2/3 yards + 2/3 yards × 3 yards + 2/3 yards × 2/3 yards
Next, we can simplify the calculations:
12 yards² + 8/3 yards² + 2/3 yards² + 4/9 yards²
Finally, we can add up all these measurements to find the total area:
12 yards² + 8/3 yards² + 2/3 yards² + 4/9 yards² = 14 2/9 yards²
Therefore, the area of a rectangular shape with dimensions of 4 yards 2 feet by 3 yards 2 feet is 14 2/9 yards².
