#18 The parking lot at a store has a width of 20 yards 2 feet and a length of 30 yards. 

Part A Derrick says that the width could also be written as 22 feet. Explain whether you agree or disagree with Derrick. 

Part B The cost to repave the parking lot is $2 per square foot. Explain how much it would cost to repave the parking lot.

Part A. I disagree, the width is 20 yds = 2 feet and since there are 3 feet in 1 yd, the width would be 20yd x 3 feet per yard + 2 feet = 62 feet

Part B. Convert the length and width to feet. Then find the area. 5580 x $2 = $11,160
