**Find the area of a rectangle measuring 5.8 yd by 21.41 yd. Round to the nearest hundredth.** 


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.
