Question

Each person in Plimouth was given a plot of land 16.7 m wide by 40.8 m long. The Alden family had four members. What was the square area of the plot of land they were allotted?

Answer 1

They were allotted 2725.44 meters² of land.

Explanation:

Well a member of the Alden family gets 16.7 meters×40.8 meters or 681.36 meters². Now since there are 4 of them, we multiply how much land one Alden family gets by 4 members.

681.36 m²×4 people = 2725.44 meters²

Answer 2

2,725.44 square meters

Explanation:

We can do all of the necessary math at once:

(16.7 m)(40.8 m)(4 persons) = 2,725.44 square meters
