What is the maximum square footage that can be built on a 350 x 250-foot lot under specified zoning restrictions?

  1. 17,500

  2. 35,000

  3. 70,000

  4. 87,500

The correct answer is: 87,500

To determine the maximum square footage that can be built on a 350 x 250-foot lot, one must first calculate the total area of the lot. This is done by multiplying the length by the width: 350 feet * 250 feet = 87,500 square feet. This figure represents the total area of the lot. Assuming there are no additional restrictions from zoning laws that would limit the usable building area, the entire area can potentially be utilized for construction. Therefore, the correct answer reflects this maximum potential area of 87,500 square feet. It is important to note that if there were zoning restrictions like setbacks, height limitations, or other conditions, this could change the buildable area, but since the question does not specify any such limitations, the calculations lead directly to the conclusion that 87,500 square feet is the maximum area permissible on the lot.
