Problema Solution
There are 640 acres in a square mile and 5280 feet in a mile. A rectangular one-acre lot has a perimeter of 836 feet. Find the dimensions of the lot
Answer provided by our tutors
this problem contains insufficient information for an exact solution; the conversions from acres to square miles and from feet to miles have no bearing on determining the length and width of the plot
perimeter = 2(length + width)
we can only assume a square plot since a square is a rectangle, and we produce this answer:
836=2(2l)
l = 836/4 = 209
a lot that is 209 feet in length and 209 feet in width would meet the criteria
