Answer:

The length of the lot is [tex]105.6\ ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

[tex]1\ acre=43,560\ ft^{2}[/tex]

In this problem the area of the lot  is equal to

[tex]\frac{2}{3} (43,560)=29,040\ ft^{2}[/tex]

Let

x-----> the length of the lot

y ----> the deep of the lot

The area of the lot is

[tex]A=xy[/tex]

we have

[tex]A=29,040\ ft^{2}[/tex]

[tex]y=275\ ft[/tex]

substitute and solve for x

[tex]29,040=x(275)[/tex]

[tex]x=29,040/(275)=105.6\ ft[/tex]
