Question 5 - Page 171 What do you think is the area of your school? Make an estimate and compare it with the actual data.Estimate the campus size. Let's assume the school bounds form a rectangle that is 400 feet long and 300 feet wide. Calculate the area in square feet. Area of School = Area of Rectangle = 400 × 300 = 1,20,000 ft2 Converting into acres Now, 1 acre = 43,560 ft^2. Thus, Area of school in acres = 120,000/43,560 =𝟐.𝟕𝟓 acres (approx.) A reasonable estimate for a mediumsized school campus is 𝟏𝟐𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎〖" " 𝐟𝐭〗^𝟐, which translates to exactly 𝟐.𝟕𝟓 acres.
