A sports team is building a new stadium on a rectangular lot of land. if the lot measures 6x by 10x and the stadium will be 1x by 4x, how much of the lot will be left over to build a parking lot on?
(1 point)
56x^2
64x^2
30x^2
60x^2
To find the area of the stadium, we multiply the length (1x) by the width (4x):
Area of stadium = 1x * 4x = 4x^2
To find the area of the lot, we multiply the length (6x) by the width (10x):
Area of lot = 6x * 10x = 60x^2
To find the area left over for the parking lot, we subtract the area of the stadium from the area of the lot:
Area left over = Area of lot - Area of stadium
= 60x^2 - 4x^2
= 56x^2
Therefore, the amount of the lot left over to build a parking lot on is 56x^2.
