8. How many square feet are actually in the YARD?

9. The yard is 150 feet by 200 feet House is 1,100 Sq Ft Driveway is 150 Sq Ft

10. I would multiply the length of the yard by the width of the yard. That is 150 times 200.

11. Then I would subtract the square feet of the house and the driveway to find the total area of the yard.

12. 150 x 200 = 30,000 30,000 – 1,100 – 150 = 28,750 Sq Ft
