field size: 1750 acres developed area: 1400 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

If the developed area is 80% of the field, and the undeveloped area is 20%, then the developed area is 4 times the undeveloped area, so is ...

developed area = 4 * 350 acres

developed area = 1400 acres

Then the total area is ...

total area = developed area + undeveloped area = (1400 + 350) acres

total area = 1750 acres
