Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that,

Mr. Hershman has purchased a farm that is in the shape of a rectangle. The dimensions of the piece of land are 4.3 km by 4.85 km. The area of the rectangle is given by :

$A=l\times b$

$A=4.3\times 4.85$

$A=20.855\ km^2$

So, she must buy $20.855\ km^2$ of area.

Since, $1\ km^2=100\ hectares$

So, the area of rectangle is 2085.5 hectares. Hence, this is the required solution.
