First, figure out its area.
A = LW
A = 1200 * 1600
A = 1,920,000 square feet
Take it from there.
Please show work so I can understand the problem... Thank you
A = LW
A = 1200 * 1600
A = 1,920,000 square feet
Take it from there.
First, let's calculate the area of the rectangular lot:
Area = Length * Width
Area = 1,200 feet * 1,600 feet
Area = 1,920,000 square feet
Next, we can find the cost per square foot by dividing the total cost by the total area:
Cost per square foot = Total cost / Total area
Cost per square foot = $30,000 / 1,920,000 square feet
To simplify the calculation, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by a common factor, such as 10,000:
Cost per square foot = $30,000 / 192,000
To make the division easier, we can approximate the numerator and denominator:
Cost per square foot ≈ $0.15625 per square foot
Therefore, the approximate cost per square foot of the rectangular lot is approximately $0.16.
