Answer:
1.074 acres are there in this building lot.
2 houses will be allowed to build on this lot.
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimensions of the building lot are 260 ft [tex]\times[/tex] 180 ft.
The building lot is rectangular in shape.
Area of the building lot (Length [tex]\times[/tex] Width) is:
[tex]260 \times 180 \\\Rightarrow 46800\ ft^2[/tex]
It is given that:
[tex]43,560\ ft^2 = 1\ acre\\1\ ft^2 = \dfrac{1}{43560\ acres}\\46800\ ft^2 = \dfrac{1}{43560} \times 46800\ acres\\\Rightarrow 1.074\ acres[/tex]
So, 1.074 acres are there in this building lot.
A house is build on [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] acres and we have ~1 acre of land in the building lot.
So, town will allow to build 2 houses on this land.
