Answer

The area of the trampoline is $72squarefeet$.

Step 1. Area of the rectangle.

The area of the rectangle is $L\times W$, where $L$ is the length of the rectangle and $W$ is the width.

Step 2. Put the value of length and width into the formula.

It is given that the length and width of the trampoline are $6feetand12feet$ respectively.

Put $L=6andW=12$ into the formula $L\times W$.

$Area=6\times 12$

Step 3. Multiply the numbers.

$Area=72squarefeet$
