A lot is triangular with a base of 200 feet and a height of 150 feet. What is the lot area in acres? (Area of triangle = ½ × base × height; 1 acre = 43,560 sq ft)
A0.24 acres
B0.34 acres✓ Correct
C0.44 acres
D0.54 acres
Explanation
Area = ½ × 200 × 150 = 15,000 sq ft. Acres = 15,000 ÷ 43,560 = 0.344 ≈ 0.34 acres. Remember: 1 acre = 43,560 square feet. Multiply or divide as needed to convert between units.. The correct answer is 0.34 acres.. This is a common calculation on the Idaho real estate exam.
