How many acres in a tract if 1/5 is not usable, 60% is in conservation, and 75 acres in a meadow? 375 qo

Answer 1

5) The Area of the original rectangular plot will be

Here,

$Width=75'$

Area =

As per zoning restrictions,24.5' of depth and 6.25' of width need to be set back.That means that , the depth and width of the rectangular plot that can be actually used are as follows(we are subtracting the depth and width required to be set aside from the original depth and width)

$Depth=125-24.5=100.5'$

$Width=75-6.25=68.75'$

Area of rectangular lot that can actually be used

Percentage of original area that can be used =

$=(6909.375/9375)*100=0.737*100=73.7\%$ of the original area can be used
