Answer:

5416.96 square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the maximum possible area, increase the dimensions by 15%, since the measurement error may be up to 15%.

512(1.15) = 588.8

8(1.15) = 9.2

Find the area using the area formula, A = lw

Plug in the length and width:

A = lw

A = (588.8)(9.2)

A = 5416.96

So, the maximum possible area is 5416.96 square yards
