That's not typical of college algebra.  

That's more like a fifth grade math problem.

To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width.

Area = length x width = (18 yd) x (10 yd) = 180 sq. yds.

That's taught in elementary school.

Area = length * width
Area = 18 * 10 = 180 sq yrds.
