Answer :

the answer is B.B.about 55 mi² to 65 mi² inside there are 50 squares plus the small square there is a total area of 59 mi^2

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

The approximate area of this park is about 55 mi² to 65 mi².

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given : A grid with Each square on the grid represents 1 mi². and a park is constructed on it.

We have to determine the approximate area of this park.

We first find the area of grid and then subtract the uncovered square that are not covered  in park area.

Length of square grid is 10 mi and breadth is 8 mi.

So, area of square grid = 10 × 8 = 80 mi²

Number of uncovered squares that are not covered  in park area  = 9  squares

So Area of uncovered squares = 9 mi²

Maximum  area of park is (80 - 9) = 71 mi²

Also, Area of partially covered squares = 21 mi²

So, Minimum area of park is (80-30) = 50 mi²

Since, area of park lies in between 50 to 71

So , from  given options only (b) satisfies the approximate area of this park.

Thus, the approximate area of this park is about 55 mi² to 65 mi².
