Answer :
Final answer:
To calculate the width of each lot from an acre divided into four lots, you divide the area of an acre by four and then by the depth of 230 feet. The correct width is approximately 47.35 feet.
Explanation:
The question is asking to determine the width of each rectangular lot if an acre of land is divided into 4 equal-sized lots that are 230 feet deep. To find the width of each lot, we need to know the total area of an acre and then divide that by the number of lots and their depth.
One acre is equivalent to 43,560 square feet. Since there are four lots, the total area of one lot is one-fourth of an acre, which is 43,560 square feet / 4 = 10,890 square feet. Given that each lot is 230 feet deep, we can find the width by dividing the area of one lot by its depth:
Width = Area / Depth
Width = 10,890 square feet / 230 feet
Width = 47.3478261 feet,
