  2. 750 acres

Explanation
Answer: B - The acreage of an area measured to be bounded by 50.00 chains on one side and 150.00 chains on the other is 750 acres.

Solution

One acre = 10 square chains

Area (acres) = (length)(length) / (1 acre/10 square chains)

Area = (50 chains) (150 chains) / (1 acre/10 square chains)

Area = 750 acres
