If the strip area is 2,000 square feet, what is the acreage?

• A. 0.005 acres
• B. 0.020 acres
• C. 0.046 acres
• D. 0.100 acres

Answer: (C)

Converting square feet to acres is done by dividing by 43,560, since one acre equals 43,560 square feet. So 2,000 square feet is 2,000 ÷ 43,560 ≈ 0.04593 acres, which rounds to 0.046 acres. The other options correspond to about 218 sq ft (0.005 acres), 871 sq ft (0.020 acres), and 4,356 sq ft (0.100 acres), so they don’t match 2,000 sq ft.
