What is the strip area in square feet when swath width is 6 feet and the 200 ft course is used?

• A. 800
• B. 1000
• C. 1200
• D. 1600

Answer: (C)

Calculating the strip area is about multiplying the width by the length, giving the area of a rectangle. Here, the swath width is 6 feet and the course length is 200 feet, so the area is 6 × 200 = 1200 square feet. So the strip area is 1200 square feet. For reference, a narrower width would yield a smaller area (e.g., 4 ft × 200 ft = 800 sq ft), while a wider width would yield a larger area (e.g., 8 ft × 200 ft = 1600 sq ft).
