How many square feet does a rectangular parcel of land measure if it is 130 feet deep and 25 yards wide?

  1. 9,750 square feet

  2. 3,250 square feet

  3. 6,500 square feet

  4. 4,750 square feet

The correct answer is: 9,750 square feet

To calculate the square footage of a rectangular parcel of land, you multiply its length by its width. In this case, the parcel of land is 130 feet deep and 25 yards wide. First, convert the width from yards to feet: 25 yards x 3 feet/yard = 75 feet. Now, multiply the depth by the width to get the total square footage: 130 feet x 75 feet = 9,750 square feet. Therefore, the correct answer is A. 9,750 square feet. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the square footage of the rectangular parcel of land based on its dimensions.
