Question

two rectangular properties share a common side. Lot is 33 feet wide and 42 feet long. The combined area of the lots is 1,848 square feet .How many feet wide I Lot B​

Answer 1

First, find the area of lot A.

To find the area, multiply the length by the width.

33*42=1,386

Now, subtract the area of lot a from the total area. This will give us the area of lot b.

1,848-1,386=462

The area of lot b is 462 square feet.

Finally, divide the area of lot b (462) by its length to find the width. Since they both share a side, we know that it’s length is 42 feet.

462/42=11

Lot b is 11 feet wide.

Hope this helps!
