Given that length =8 yards and width = 3 yards of the rectangle bed.
Recall the formula for the area of the rectangle is
[tex]A=\text{length }\times width[/tex][tex]\text{Substitute length =8 yards and width=3 yards, we get}[/tex][tex]A=8\text{ yards }\times3\text{ yards}[/tex][tex]A=8\times3yards^2[/tex][tex]A=24yards^2[/tex]We know that one yard=3 feet.
[tex]\text{yards}^2=(3\text{ f}eet)^2[/tex][tex]\text{yards}^2=\text{ 9 f}eet^2[/tex][tex]\text{Substitute }yards^2=9\text{ f}eet^2\text{ in the area of the rectangle as follows.}[/tex][tex]A=24\times9\text{ fe}et^2[/tex][tex]A=216\text{ fe}et^2[/tex]Hence the area of the rectangle flower bed is 216 square feet.
