Answer 1

Answer:

Area of the rectangular field in kilometers is 0.09 $km^2$

Explanation:

We know that 1 kilometers = 1000 meters

                    since we need to find the area in unit of kilometers

                    therefore converting length and width into kilometers

           1000 meters = 1 kilometers

             300 meters =$\frac{300}{1000} = 0.3$

         Likewise  width  = 0.3 km

Area = length x width

         = 0.3km x 0.3 km

        = 0.09 $km^2$
