A sports team is building a new stadium on a rectangular lot of land. If the lot measures 6x by 10 x and the sports field will be 1x by 4x, how much land will be left over>?
My answer is 56x^2
he right
YES

You're welcome! It's never too late to get confirmation on your work.
To find out how much land will be left over, we need to calculate the total area of the rectangular lot and the area of the sports field. Then, we subtract the area of the sports field from the total area of the lot.
The total area of the rectangular lot can be calculated by multiplying its length (6x) by its width (10x):
Total Area = Length x Width
Total Area = 6x * 10x
Total Area = 60x^2
The area of the sports field can be calculated by multiplying its length (1x) by its width (4x):
Sports Field Area = Length x Width
Sports Field Area = 1x * 4x
Sports Field Area = 4x^2
To find out how much land will be left over, we subtract the area of the sports field from the total area of the lot:
Land Left Over = Total Area - Sports Field Area
Land Left Over = 60x^2 - 4x^2
Land Left Over = 56x^2
Therefore, the correct answer is 56x^2.
