Let the side of pond be "x"

2 grids form the pond

Area of pond : 2x *x =500

x^2=250

Area of park :

6x * 5x

=30x^2

=30 * 250

=7500

I am getting 7500 . whats the OA?

5x6 grid = 30 units=park
2 units=pond=500

2 units pond/30 units park= 500/x
x = area of park=7500

I got 7500 too.

Is it a typo in the list of answers? or is there a typo in my brains?
