Question

Andre owned a 1/4 acre lot. He wanted to construct a 120’ x 80’ tennis court on the lot. How many square feet will remain uncovered after he builds the tennis court?

Answer 1

The area of the tennis court is computed by multiplying the dimensions given,

                               A = 120' x 80'

                               A = 9600 ift

Then, we convert the area in ft² to acres,

                       A = (9600 in²)(2.3 x 10^-5/ 1 in²)

                           A = 0.24 acre

The portion of land remaining is,

                  A of remaining = 0.25 acre - 0.24 acre

                                           = 0.1 acre

The remaining portion is for Andre's studies.

This, 0.1 ft² is equal to the 4% of the given area of the court.
