What is the area of a rectangular piece of land with dimensions 1200 ft by 750 ft?

600,000 ft²
750,000 ft²
900,000 ft²
1,200,000 ft²

The correct answer is: 900,000 ft²

To find the area of a rectangular piece of land, you multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length is 1200 feet and the width is 750 feet. Calculating the area involves the following multiplication: Area = Length × Width Area = 1200 ft × 750 ft Area = 900,000 ft² The result, 900,000 square feet, represents the total area of the land. This calculated area aligns with choice C, making it the correct answer. In geometry, understanding how to compute areas is crucial as it applies to real-world scenarios involving land, flooring, and similar contexts. This problem reinforces the importance of using the correct formula for area and demonstrates how straightforward multiplication can yield essential information about space and resources.
