A triangular lot is 

120120 

ft on one side and has a property line of length 

700700 

ft. Find the area of the lot in acres.​ (Figure not drawn to​ scale)

To find the area of the triangular lot in acres, we'll use the formula for the area of a triangle when two sides and the included angle are known. However, since we do not have the angle provided, we will need to make an assumption that the two sides you mentioned (120,120 ft and 700,700 ft) form a right triangle, or clarify if an additional measurement (such as the angle) is available.

If the sides form a right triangle, the area \(A\) can be calculated as:

\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]

Here, one side is the base (120,120 ft) and the other is the height (700,700 ft). So, the area is:

\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 120120 \times 700700
\]

Let me calculate this.The area of the triangular lot is approximately 966,117 acres.

Would you like further details or have any questions?

Here are 5 follow-up questions to consider:
1. What if the angle between the two sides was provided?
2. How would the calculation change if the lot wasn't a right triangle?
3. How do you convert between different units of area?
4. What are other methods to calculate the area of a triangle?
5. Can the area of this triangle be verified using coordinate geometry?

**Tip:** When working with land areas, always ensure you are using consistent units (e.g., feet, meters, acres).
