Question

4. An acre is equal to 43,560 square feet, and there are 5280 feet in a mile. If a farm has the shape of a rectangle measuring 0.8 mile by 1.1 miles, what is the area of the farm in acres?

Answer 1

Area = length x width = (0.8 x 5280) x (1.1 x 5280) = 4224 x 5808 = 24532992 square feet.

43,560 square feet = 1 acre
24,532,992 square feet = 24,532,992/43,560 = 563.2 acre
