and Length =x foot

Area = 25 x square foot

So 25 x represents area which is used for storing equipment.

So out of all the options Option D is correct which is The area of the land fenced off to store equipment .

Answer

The statement best describes the term 25x is  option ( D)

i.e  The area of the land fenced off to store equipment.

Reason

As given in the question

A farmer has a square-shaped plot of unused land

After the farmer fences off

he fences off a 25-foot wide section to create an area to store equipment.

x represent the original length of the plot.

this shows that the plot used to store equipment is not square.

Formula

Area of the rectangle = length × breadth

length = x

breadth = 25

put in the above equation

Area = 25x feet²

therefore 25x feet² shows the area of the land fenced off to store the equipment.

Hence proved
