Question

You are planning a store on a large lot. Your budget only allows for 800 linear feet of walls. What is the maximum square footage of your store? O a) 800 b) 3200 O c) 40,000 O d) 640,000 Submit

Answer 1

40, 000 (option C)

Explanation:

maximum square footage of your store = Area of square

Area of square = length × length

800 linear feet is the perimeter of the square

perimeter = 4 × length

800 = 4× length

length = 800/4

Length of the wall = 200 feet

Area = 200 × 200

Area = 40, 000 feet² (option C)
