Question

A football field is 120 yards by 53.333 yards. What is the area of the football field in acres if 1 acre=43560 ft?? Use correct

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of the pitch in an acre is  1.32 acre

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem requires to test our understanding of unit conversion, and we are expected to present our answer in an acre

first, let us convert from the yard to feet

given that the dimension of the pitch is

120 yards by

53.333 yard

1 yard is 3 foot

120 yards will give x

cross multiply we have

x1= 120*3

x1= 360 feet

also the second dimension is

x2= 53.333*3

x2= 159.999

x2= 159.999 feet

the area of the pitch is

area= 159.999*360

area= 57599.64 ft^2

Note: an acre is a unit for land area (1 acre=43560 ft^2)

if 1 acre = 43560 ft^2

x acre =  57599.64 ft^2

cross multiply we have

x acre =  57599.64/43560

x acre = 1.32 acre
