Muzzack seems to have left? I dont know where he went but you have to multiply 15 times 20 to get the area in square feet. Then You divide that number by 3, because there are 3 feet in every yard. To get the area in square yards

Actually, I think a more precise way of doing this is to first convert both of the sides to yards, and then multiply them together, so 5 times 6.67
