After the farmer fences off the section, the new area of the unused land is given by the expression below, where x represents the original length, in feet, of the farm. Which statement best describes the term 25x? A. the area of the plot of land before a section was fenced off to store equipment B. the length of the land fenced off to store equipment C. the area of the plot of land after a section was fenced off to store equipment D. the area of the land fenced off to store equipment Reset Next

Answer 1

Answer . option D -  the area of the land fenced off to store equipment Reset

Solution

A farmer has a square-shaped plot of unused land .

Let 'x' represents the side of a square land. therefore area of square land = x^2

Along the length of the farm, a 25-foot wide section to create an area to store equipment.This section is a rectangular plot with length 'x' and breadth x-25. The length of section equal to side of original square land.

25x represents  " the area of the land fenced off to store equipment Reset"

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option D) the area of the land fenced off to store equipment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the farmer has a square shaped plot.

Along the length of the farm, he fences off a 25-foot wide section to create an area to store equipment.

Let the side of squared shaped plot is x foot.

Then the farmer fences off a 25 foot wide section to create an area to store equipment.

Here the width is 25 foot but the length is x foot, as it is along the length of the farm.

Now calculate the area of the land fenced off as shown:

Area = Width × Length

Area =  25x

So, 25 x represents the area which is used for storing equipment.

Hence, the correct option D) the area of the land fenced off to store equipment.
