Area of professional goal #color(green)(A = 2(2/3) sq. yards# or #color(orange)( 2.67 sq. yards#

Explanation:

Hockey goal post #w = 6’, h = 4’#

Area of the goal #A = w * h = 6 * 4 = 24# sq ft.

#color(blue)(1 yard = 3’# Hence #color(blue)(1 sq. yard = 9# #color(blue)(sq. ft#

#:. A = 24 / 9 = 2(2/3) sq. yards# or # 2.67 sq. yards#
