Answer

$324\ ft^2$

Work Step by Step

Convert the dimensions of the second garden to feet. $4\ yd=4\ yd\times\frac{3\ ft}{1\ yd}=12\ ft$ $9\ yd=9\ yd\times\frac{3\ ft}{1\ yd}=27\ ft$ The second garden has longer dimensions, so is the larger garden. Use the formula for the area of a rectangle. $A=bh=(12)(27)=324$
