Answer:

4800 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Area of cabin = 800 ft²

Width of cabin = 20 feets

Side yard setback of building = 20 feets

Depth of lot = 80 feets

The cabin is a rectangle :

Area of rectangle = Length * Width

800 = length * 20

Length = 800 / 20 = 40 feets

Hence,

Width of lot = side yard + Width of cabin = (20 + 20) = 40 feets

Length of lot = depth +. Length of cabin = (80 + 40) = 120 feets

Area of lot = Length of lot * width of lot

Area of lot = 120 ft * 40 ft = 4800 ft²
