A 50-ft x 300-ft parking lot is divided into sections for a craft fair by bisecting the width and the length. Each half is again bisected in length and width, forming 16 sections in all. What are the dimensions and area of each section

Answer 1

The dimensions of each section will be 12.5 ft by 75 ft.

The area of each section will be 937.5 sq. ft.

Explanation:

A parking lot with dimensions 50 ft. by 300 ft. is divided into sections by bisecting the width and the length.

So, each half will have dimensions 25 ft by 150 ft.

Each half is again bisected in length and width.

So, the dimensions of each section will be 12.5 ft by 75 ft.

Now, the area of each section will be (12.5 × 75) = 937.5 sq. ft. (Answer)
