First find the area in squards:
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+L%2AW\" L = 20yds and W = 12yds.
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+20%2A12\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=240\"sq.yds.
\n" ); document.write( "Now we need to convert square yards to square feet.
\n" ); document.write( "How many square feet are there in 1 square yard?
\n" ); document.write( "3ft = 1yd Now square both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "9sq.ft. = 1sq.yd.
\n" ); document.write( "So, for every one of those 240 square yards in the area, there are 9sq.ft. so we just multiply 240 square yards by 9sq.ft/sq.yd to get:
\n" ); document.write( "\"240%2A9+=+2160\"sq.ft. So...
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+2160\"sq.ft.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
