Answer 2

Answer:

The width of Roger´s property is 90 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given " Roger owns a one acre piece of land" means that the piece of land has an area of 1 acre. Then if 1 acre= 43,560 feet², means that land´s area is 43,560 feet².

Secondly we have to aproximate the area of the land to the area of a rectangle, considering that the equation this area is

Area = length · width. As length is 484 feet ....

43,560 feet² = (484 feet) · width ⇒ (43,560 feet²)/(484 feet) = width

⇒ 90 feet = width.

Summarizing, the width of Roger´s property is 90 feet.
