Question

This question: Submit Fritz plans to fence off a square feed lot and then cross-fence to divide it into four smaller feed lots. If he uses 924 feet of fencing, then how much area will be fenced in?​

Answer 1

23,716 ft

Explanation:

Let the side length of each of the four smaller lots be s.

Then, Fritz will use 12s feet, which is equal to 924.

This means s=77.

This means the area of each smaller square is 77²=5929, and thus the total area is 23,716 ft.
