Step1: Recall area formula for rectangle

The formula for the area $A$ of a rectangle is $A = l\times w$, where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width.

Step2: Substitute given values

Here, $l = 87$ yards and $w = 60$ yards. So $A=87\times60$.

Step3: Calculate the product

$87\times60 = 5220$ square - yards.
