Answer 1

Answer:

10,000 square feet is the maximum size for a building on this slot.

Step-by-step explanation:

A city lot measures 100 feet x 250 feet. The city zoning ordinance specifies that maximum lot coverage is 40%of the lot.

Area = 25,000 square feet

Maximum coverage area is 40% of city area

Maximum size of for building on this lot = 40% of 25,000

Now we calculate 40% of 25,000

Maximum size for building = 0.40 x 25000 = 10,000 square feet

Thus, 10,000 square feet is the maximum size for a building on this slot.
