Real Estate Math
A rectangular lot is 80 feet wide and 120 feet deep. A proposed house will have a 20-foot front setback, 10-foot side setbacks on each side, and a 15-foot rear setback. What is the buildable area in square feet?
A3,750 sq ft
B5,400 sq ft✓ Correct
C4,500 sq ft
D6,000 sq ft
Explanation
Buildable width = 80 − 10 − 10 = 60 ft. Buildable depth = 120 − 20 − 15 = 85 ft. Buildable area = 60 × 85 = 5,100 sq ft.
