Question

A backyard is 40.5 feet long and 25 feet wide. In order to install a pool, the yard needs to be reduced by a scale of One-third. What is the area of the reduced yard?

Answer 1

112.5 feet

Explanation

Length = (40.5 ft) x (1/3) = 13.5 ft

Width = (25 ft)(1/3) = 25/3 ft

Area of the yard = (13.5 ft)(25/3) = 112.5 ft²

the final area of the yard is equal to 112.5 ft².
