Explanation:

Step1: Recall the area formula for a rectangle

The area \( A \) of a rectangle is given by the formula \( A = \text{length} \times \text{width} \). Here, the length is 395 feet and the width is 175 feet.

Step2: Calculate the area

Substitute the values into the formula: \( A = 395 \times 175 \).
First, calculate \( 395\times175 \):
\[

$$\begin{align*} 395\times175&=(400 - 5)\times175\\ &=400\times175-5\times175\\ &=70000 - 875\\ &= 69125 \end{align*}$$

\]

Answer:

69125 square feet
