Question

Mr. Hershman has purchased a farm that is in the shape of a rectangle. The dimensions of the piece of land are 4.74.7 km by 2.582.58 km. How many square kilometers did he​ buy, and how many hectares did he​ purchase

Answer 1

Answer:

Area in square kilometers equals $12.126km^{2}$

Area in hectares equals 1212.6 hectares

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that area of rectangle is length times the breadth.

Using the given values we have

$Area=length\times breadth\\\\\therefore Area =4.7km\times 2.58km\\\\Area=12.126km^{2}$

Thus he bought land of area $12.126km^{2}$

We know that 1 hectare =$0.01km^{2}$

Thus 12.126$km^{2}$ = 12.126/0.01 hectares

Area in hectares equals 1212.6 hectares
