Step 1 :Convert the length from yards to feet: \(5 \text{ yd} \times 3 \text{ ft/yd} = 15 \text{ ft}\)
Step 2 :Convert the width from yards to feet: \(4 \text{ yd} \times 3 \text{ ft/yd} = 12 \text{ ft}\)
Step 3 :Calculate the area of the flower bed: \(\text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} = 15 \text{ ft} \times 12 \text{ ft} = 180 \text{ square feet}\)
Step 4 :The area of the flower bed is \(\boxed{180 \text{ square feet}}\)
