Question from Micheal a student: If one side of .4 acre is 25 feet what would the other three sides be |
Hi Micheal,
The first thing I did was to type 0.4 acres in square feet into the Google search window. Google responded with 0.4 acre = 17424 square feet.
If the properly is a rectangle, 25 feet along the front and $x$ feet along the side then the back is also 25 feet long and the remaining side is $x$ feet long.
Thus $25 \times x = 17425.$ Solve for $x.$
If the property is not a rectangle Then you need more information.
