Shondrella is a real estate agent who sells plots of land. The amount she charges for a plot of land is proportional to area of the plot. An interested buyer is deciding between two plots. Both have the same width; but, one is 20 yards longer than the width, and the other is 50 yards longer than the width. The smaller plot costs $3,200, and the larger plot costs $4,800. Which of the following are the dimensions of the two plots of land?

smaller plot: 60 × 40; larger plot: 90 × 40

smaller plot: 20 × 40; larger plot: 50 × 40

smaller plot: 52 × 32; larger plot: 82 × 32
