Real Estate Math
A rectangular parcel measures 660 feet by 1,320 feet. How many acres does this contain? (1 mile = 5,280 feet; 1 section = 640 acres)
A10 acres
B20 acres✓ Correct
C40 acres
D80 acres
Explanation
This is a quarter-mile by half-mile parcel. 660 ft = 1/8 mile; 1,320 ft = 1/4 mile. Area = (1/8) × (1/4) = 1/32 of a square mile. But 640 × (660 × 1,320) ÷ (5,280 × 5,280) = 640 × 871,200 ÷ 27,878,400 = 20 acres.
