Question

what is the area in square feet of a 140-yard by 80-yard rectangular playing field?
the area is \\(\square\\) square feet.
(simplify your answer.)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert yards to feet

Since 1 yard = 3 feet:
Length: $140 \times 3 = 420$ feet
Width: $80 \times 3 = 240$ feet

Step2: Calculate area of rectangle

Area formula: $\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}$
$\text{Area} = 420 \times 240$

Step3: Compute the product

$420 \times 240 = 100800$

Answer:

100800
