Two rectangular properties share a common side. lot a is 33 feet wide and 42 feet long.

the combined area of the lots is 1,848 square feet. how many feet wide is lot b? show work!
(a) 11 feet
(b) 14 feet
(c) 44 feet
(d) 56 feet

The width of lot B is 11 feet, so option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

To find:

How many feet wide is Lot B?  

Solution:

we know that, area of a rectangle is length x breadth

Then area of lot A = 33 x 42 = 1386 square feet.

And area of lot B = width x 42

Now, we are given that, total area = 1848  

area of lot A + area of lot B = 1848  

1386 + width x 42 = 1848  

width x 42 = 1848 – 1386  

width x 42 = 462  

width = 11

Hence, the width of lot B is 11 feet, so option A is correct.

the correct answer is b) histograms can be used to exhibit the shape of distributions. this is because histograms count the frequency of each possible answer, so one is able to see which results are more common and which are less common.
