Question from Alan: How can one convert 2 acres (a square - area) of land into a strip of land that is 2 feet wide and (?) feet long? |
Hi Alan,
The first step is to convert 1 acre to square feet. Google can help with that. Type 1 acre in square feet into the Google search window. Now ask yourself, what does ? have to be if
\[2 \times ? = \mbox{ the number of square feet in 2 acres?}\]
