Answer: 490 sq ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ratio is 5:2, you can add both those numbers to get the total number of segments.
5+2=7
After this, you can divide 98 by 7 to get the length of each segment.
98/7=14
Then, to get the length for one side, you multiply 5 by 14 because there are 5 segments that are 14 feet.
5*14=70
Then take this number and divide by half because there are 2 sides that represent the length in a rectangle.
70/2=35
Then do the same for width.
2*14=28
28/2=14
Finally multiply 14 by 35 to get the answer.
14*35=490 sq ft
