How many acres in central park in new york city


Asked by admin @ in Mathematics viewed by 290 People


Central Park in New York City is rectangular in a shape and measure approximately 1.37x10^4 feet by 2.64x10^2 feet.If one acres is equal to 4.356x10^4 square feet,how many acres does Central park cover?

Answered by admin @




         (1.37 x 10⁴) x (2.64 x 10²) / (4.356 x 10⁴)

     =  (1.37 x 2.64 / 4.356) x 10⁴⁺²⁻⁴

     =      0.83 x 10²  =  83 acres .

That sounds too small to me.  It's only  0.13  square mile .

On a popular internet search-engine, it says Central Park
is 1.317 square miles.  It is 2.5 miles (4 km) long between
59th Street (Central Park South)
and 110th Street (Central
Park North), and is 0.5 miles (0.8 km) wide
between Fifth
Avenue and Central Park West.

That's  1.32 x 10⁴ ft long, and  2.64 x 10³ ft wide.

There's the problem !  This Brainly question says
264 ft wide, but it's actually 2,640 ft wide ! 

So, using the numbers in this Brainly question, the answer
is 83 acres, although Central Park is really 10 times as big.
