Using the dimensions shown for the grout pour cell zone, what is the plan area?

Correct Answer

The figure gives 32 ft by 18 ft, so the area is 576 sf.

Answer Options
A
576 sf
B
512 sf
C
648 sf
D
50 sf

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The figure gives 32 ft by 18 ft, so the area is 576 sf.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option B: 512 sf

512 sf uses a 16 ft width instead of the printed 18 ft.

Option C: 648 sf

648 sf adds 4 ft to the printed length before multiplying.

Option D: 50 sf

50 sf adds length and width instead of multiplying area.

Memory Technique

Area habit for grout pour cell zone: if two edge labels frame the shape, multiply them.

Reference Hint

Open Sheet A-702; read the horizontal and vertical dimensions around the labeled shape.
