Answer:

The length of the lot is
105.6\ ft

Explanation:

Remember that


1\ acre=43,560\ ft^(2)

In this problem the area of the lot is equal to


(2)/(3) (43,560)=29,040\ ft^(2)

Let

x-----> the length of the lot

y ----> the deep of the lot

The area of the lot is


A=xy

we have


A=29,040\ ft^(2)


y=275\ ft

substitute and solve for x


29,040=x(275)


x=29,040/(275)=105.6\ ft
