How much total area in square meters does a 75m by 50m backyard cover?

  1. 1250 m²

  2. 1500 m²

  3. 2000 m²

  4. 5000 m²

The correct answer is: 1500 m²

To find the total area of a rectangular space, such as a backyard, you multiply the length by the width. In this case, the dimensions of the backyard are given as 75 meters in length and 50 meters in width. The calculation proceeds as follows: Total Area = Length × Width Total Area = 75 m × 50 m Total Area = 3750 m² Given this calculation, it appears there may have been a misunderstanding in the choice provided as the correct answer. The total area of a backyard that measures 75 meters by 50 meters is indeed 3750 square meters, which does not match the choices given. It is essential to ensure the area is calculated accurately by adhering to the proper formula and using the right measurements. Understanding this concept is vital in arithmetic reasoning as it applies to various real-world situations where area calculations are necessary.
