A house has a 0.5 acre lot. Approximate an acre as 40,000 sq ft. How many square feet is the house's lot?

To approximate the area of the house's lot in square feet:

1 acre ≈ 40,000 square feet.

Since the lot is 0.5 acre:

\[
\text{Area of lot} = 0.5 \times 40,000 \, \text{sq ft} = 20,000 \, \text{sq ft}
\]

Thus, the house's lot is approximately **20,000 square feet**.
