so than how much area was left ?

Answer 31

so is that mean 160 ft divided by 15 ft? =10.66 ft

Answer 32

go ahead @ jhonyy9 continue and we are listening

Answer 33

hmm i think 15 ft set back means take awy 15ft at each end of 160 ft that will be 160-30=130ft.....
and at 110-30=80
so the remaining rectangle has 80x130==10,400 sq ft ..ans...
then it is required that 32,500 sq ft/65 cars=500
therefore
10,400/500 =20.8 cars
use 20 car as approx ...ans

Answer 34

but 160 ft is a measure og the lenght of and the width is 110 ft

Answer 35

og wann being of ---sorry

Answer 36

so if 15 foot is set back so than how much area was required from the first calculated area ?

Answer 37

so i think it is 80x130=10,400 sq ft

Answer 38

@mark_o. how do you think not is very very interesting that there are ft and foot too

Answer 40

hmm ft = feet= foot are the same

Answer 41

Answer 42

not really a foot is singular and feet are plural

Answer 43

ok so than how do you think if there have wrote that 15 foot are required back from each line so than what mean this again ?

Answer 44

i think they want 15 foot set backs from each line is like having a border line at 160 ft and at 110 ft

Answer 45
