Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square is

A=x^2               .... (1)

where, x is side length.

The length of each side of his square plot is decreasing at the constant rate of 2 feet/year.

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2

It is given that bob currently owns 250,000 square feet of land.

Fist find the length of each side.

A=250000

x^2=250000

Taking square root on both sides.

x=500

Differentiate with respect to t.

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}

Substitute x=500 and \frac{dx}{dt}=2 in the above equation.

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=2(500)(2)

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=2000

Farmer bob is losing 2,000 square feet of land per year.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
