Alan and Kate want to build a 5,000-square-foot ranch-style home on two acres of land they just bought. Once the house is built, how many acres of undeveloped land will remain?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Approximately 1.88 acres of land will remain undeveloped.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Area of land = 2 acre

We know that

1 acre = 43,560 square foot

Thus,

2 acre = 87,120 square foot

Area of ranch =  5,000 square foot

Area of undeveloped land =

[tex]A = \text{Area of land}-\text{Area of Ranch}\\A = 87120-5000\\A =82120\text{ square foot}\\\\A = \dfrac{82120}{43560}\text{ acres}\\\\A \approx 1.88\text{ acres}[/tex]

Thus, approximately 1.88 acres of land will remain undeveloped.

The undeveloped land that will remain is 82,120 ft.²

Given to us:

Area needed for Alan and Kate's home = 5,000 ft.²  

Total Undeveloped land available = 2 acres

[tex]{\rm\begin{aligned}1\ acre\ of\ land&= 43,560 ft.^2\\ 2\ acres\ of\ land &= 2\times 43,560\\&= 87,120\ ft.^2}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, Total Undeveloped land available = 87,120 ft.²

[tex]\begin{aligned}\\Remaining\ undeveloped\ land &= {Total\ Undeveloped\ land\ available} - Area\ needed\ for\ home\\&=87,120-5000\\&= 82,120 ft.^2\end{aligned}[/tex]

Hence, the undeveloped land that will remain is 82,120 ft.².
