A home is to be built on a 56 foot 9 inch wide lot. The house is 5 feet 5 inches from the side of the lot and is 34 feet 10 inches wide.

Total lot - house - other side

= (56 ft 9 in) - (34 ft 10 in) - (5 ft 5 in)

= (55 ft 21 in) - (34 ft 10 in) - (5 ft 5 in)

=16 ft 6 in

Convert to inches: 16 ft x 12 in/ft) + 6 in = Total in inches 192 in + 6 in = Total in inches

198 in = Total in inches

Check: One side + house + other side = Lot width

(5 ft 5 in) + (34 ft 10 in) + (16 ft 6 in) = Lot width

56 ft 9 in=Lot width, which equals the given.
