Find the area of a rectangular field in hectares whose sides are:(i) 1

1.	Find the area of a rectangular field in hectares whose sides are:(i) 125 m and 400 m(ii) 75 m 5 dm and 120 m
Answer» (i) Given length of the rectangular field = 125 m Breadth of the rectangular field = 400 m We know that the area of the rectangular field = Length x Breadth = 125 m x 400 m = 50000 m² = 5 hectares [Since 10000 m² = 1 hectare] (ii) Given length of the rectangular field =75 m 5 dm = (75 + 0.5) m = 75.5 m [Since 1 dm = 10 cm = 0.1 m] Breadth of the rectangular field = 120 m We know that the area of the rectangular field = Length x Breadth = 75.5 m x 120 m = 9060 m² = 0.906 hectares [Since 10000 m² = 1 hectare]

Find the area of a rectangular field in hectares whose sides are:(i) 125 m and 400 m(ii) 75 m 5 dm and 120 m

Answer»

(i) Given length of the rectangular field = 125 m

Breadth of the rectangular field = 400 m

We know that the area of the rectangular field = Length x Breadth

= 125 m x 400 m

= 50000 m²

= 5 hectares [Since 10000 m² = 1 hectare]

(ii) Given length of the rectangular field =75 m 5 dm

= (75 + 0.5) m

= 75.5 m [Since 1 dm = 10 cm = 0.1 m]

Breadth of the rectangular field = 120 m

We know that the area of the rectangular field = Length x Breadth

= 75.5 m x 120 m

= 9060 m²

= 0.906 hectares [Since 10000 m² = 1 hectare]
