To find the area of a rectangle, you use the formula:

$A = \text{length} \times \text{width}$

Given the dimensions:

• Length $l = 21.41$ yards
• Width $w = 5.8$ yards

We can calculate the area $A$ as follows:

$A = 21.41 \times 5.8$

Let's perform the multiplication:

$21.41 \times 5.8 = 124.178$

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the area is:

$124.18 \text{ square yards}$

So, the area of the rectangle is $124.18$ square yards.
