Question

13. A contractor is building a new subdivision. A rectangular piece of land for a new

house and yard is 60 feet wide. The length of the land is longer than the width by a
distance of n feet. Which equation represents the area of the land?

Answer 1

Area = (60 + n) * 60 = 3600 + 60n

Explanation:

The length of the land is 60 + n feet. The area of the land is the product of the length and width, so the equation representing the area of the land is:

Area = (60 + n) * 60 = 3600 + 60n

This equation represents the area of the land in square feet.
