Question

The parallelogram-shaped plot of land shown in the figure is put up for sale at $2500 per acre. To the nearest dollar, what is the total price of the land? (Hint-1 acre=43560 sq ft.)

Answer 1

The total price of the land is
`\$5,350`

Explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the land

`A=315(296)=93,240\ ft^(2)`

step 2

Convert
`ft^(2)` to acre

`93,240\ ft^(2)=93,240/43,560=2.14\ acres`

step 3

Find the total price of the land

`(2,500)(2.14)=\$5,350`
