Based on the calculations, the area of national forest is equal to 64,000 acres and 25,600 hectares respectively.
<h3>How to calculate the area of a square?</h3>
Mathematically, the area of a square can be calculated by using this formula;
A = x²
<u>Where:</u>
- A is the area of a square.
- x is the side length of a square.
<h3>What is measurement?</h3>
Measurement refers to a process through which the dimensions, size (weight), or other physical quantities of magnitude that are associated with an object or land is taken, especially for use in a scientific research and experiment such as direct comparison.
<h3>How to convert the units?</h3>
1 square mile = 640 acres
100 square mile = X acres
Cross-multiplying, we have:
X acres = 640 × 100
X acres = 64,000 acres.
For the area in hectares, we have:
1 hectare = 2.5 acres
X hectare = 64,000 acres
Cross-multiplying, we have:
2.5X acres = 64,000 acres
X = 64,000/2.5
X = 25,600 hectares.
