Ava and Logan are enjoying fishing in the rectangular pond at the state park. The ducks swim calmly by, and the fish are plentiful. Ava would like to know the area of the pond. It's so large! She read in the brochure that the length of the pond is 10 meters, and it is 9 meters wide.
Question
What is the area of the pond?
\({\Large\text{Area} = l \times w}\)
\({\Large\text{A} = 10\;\text{m}\;\times 9\;\text{m}}\)
\({\Large\text{A} = 90\;\text{square meters}}\)
