A square plot of land has a building 40 ft long and 30 ft wide at one corner. The rest of the land outside the building forms a parking lot. If the parking lot has area 8,800 ft2, what are the dimensions of the entire plot of land?

Respuesta :

Answer:

10,000 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine the area of the parking lot with the area of the building outline:

8800 ft^2 + 1200 ft^2 = 10000 ft^2.

Actually, this represents the area of the entire plot of land.  We don't have enough info here to say what the dimensions (length and width) are.
