Answer:
Solution: Convert the lot dimensions to feet
35 yards ×3 feet1 yard=105 feet
50 yards ×3 feet1 yard=150 feet
So the area of the entire lot is 105 feet×150 feet=15,750 square feet.
Therefore the percent of the lot NOT covered by Dana's house will be
15,750−160015,750≈0.898≈90%.
Solution: Convert the house area to square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
1 yard=3 feet,
so
1 square yard=3 feet×3 feet=9 square feet.
Therefore, Dana's house covers
1600 square feet×1 square yard9 square feet≈177.8 square yards.
On the other hand, Dana's lot is 35 yards×50 yards=1,750 yards.
The percentage of Dana's lot NOT covered by her house is:
1,750−177.81,750≈0.898≈90%
