    Area of a rectangle

    If the floor of a school gymnasium is 84 feet long and 50 feet wide, then the area of the floor is expressed as;
    Area= 50 * 84
    Area = 4200 square feet
    If the expected floor space a standing person occupies is about 2.5 sq feet, hence;
    Total student = 4200/2.5
    Total student = 1680 students
    Hence the total students the principal expect to fit in the gym in case of an emergency is 1680 students
