how do I find square footage. my question is Pam needed to give her gardener the approximate square footage of her backyard. With each step being about 2 feet, Pam steps it off and counts 20 steps long and 40 steps wide. About how many square feet is the backyard?

Answer :

[tex]3,200ft^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Since each of her steps is equivalent to 2 feet

=> 1 step = 2 ft

==> 20 steps = 2 * 20 = 40 feet

==> 40 steps = 2 * 40 = 80 feet

The square feet of the backyard is equal to width * height

[tex]40\cdot80=3,200ft^2[/tex]
