If a landscape area measures 120 by 240 feet, what is the total square footage?

24,000
20,000
28,800
32,000

The correct answer is: 28,800

To determine the total square footage of a landscape area, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is length multiplied by width. In this situation, the landscape area measures 120 feet in width and 240 feet in length. First, you would multiply the width by the length: 120 feet (width) × 240 feet (length) = 28,800 square feet. This calculation shows that the area of the landscape is 28,800 square feet, making it the correct answer. The other options provided do not represent the accurate calculation of the rectangle's dimensions and can result from common miscalculations or misinterpretations of the area formula. Understanding how to apply this formula effectively is essential for calculating areas in various practical applications, particularly in horticulture and landscaping.
