Question

A piece of plywood was cut so it's lenght was 8 feet by 4 feet. What is the area of the wood ?

Answer 1

The area is equal to the length multiplied by the width.  The length is 8 feet and the width is 4 feet.  This means the area is equal to 8 x 4.  This means the area is 32 square feet.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

so you would multiply 8 times 4 to get a product of 32 sq. ft.
