Question

Stacey owns a lot that has 180 feet of front footage and contains 36,000 square feet. he purchases two identically-sized lots adjacent to each side of his lot. these side lots are each 200 feet deep and each side lot contains 19,000 square feet. what is the total front footage of all three lots?

Answer 1

The total front footage of all three lots is 370.

Answer 2

As per linear equation, the total front footage of all three lots is 370 feet.

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is an equation where there are one or multiple variables. However, the highest power of any variable is one.

Given, the front footage of the first lot is 180 feet.

The side of the lots are each 200 feet deep.

Each side lot contains 19,000 square feet.

Therefore,

the area of the lot = (depth) × (front footage)

⇒ $19000 = 200$ × (front footage)

⇒ front footage $= \frac{19000}{200} feet$

⇒ front footage $= 95 feet$

Now, the total front footage of all three lots

= (the front footage of the first lot) + 2 x (the front footage of a lot adjacent to the first lot)

$= [180 + 2(95)] feet$

$= [180 + 190] feet$

$= 370 feet$
