Answer: is C. 30,000

If the side of a square is 5 feet.

The area of the square is = 5 ×5 = 25 ft²

Now as 5 people can occupy this space.

The area for each person = 25/ 5 = 5ft²

The dimension of the outdoor space are

Length = 500 ft

Width = 300 ft

The area of the outdoor space = 500 × 300 = 150,000 ft²

The number of persons which can be accommodated shall be 150,000/5

= 30,000
