How many acres are there in the w 1/2 of the s 1/2 of the sw 1/2 of a section of land? 50 acres? 15 acres? 80 acres? 160 acres?

Option C (80 acres) is the appropriate answer. A further solution is provided in the below segment.

Given:

The acres in a section of land,

By multiplying the denominators of the given values, we get

=

=

As we know that each one square mile Section contains 640 acres. So that by dividing the value by 8, we get

=

=

Thus "80 acres" is the right solution.

step-by-step explanation:

distance formula is d=√(x2-x1)^2   +   (y2-y1)^2

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

by the trigonometric ratio tangent, tangent equals opposite divided by adjacent.

therefore, tan(50) equals ac/3

multiply each side by 3 to get: ac=3tan(50)

the answer is b.
