Question : 4

Total: 50

A farmland measures 50m x 50m. Determine its area in hectares.

Solution:

Concept:

Area in hectares is found by dividing the area in square metres by

10{,}000

Explanation:

First, calculate the area of the rectangular farmland in square metres:

\text{Area} = 50\,\text{m} \times 50\,\text{m} = 2500\,\text{m}^2

Since

1\,\text{hectare} = 10{,}000\,\text{m}^2

, convert the area to hectares by dividing by

10{,}000

\text{Area in hectares} = \frac{2500}{10{,}000} = 0.25\,\text{ha}

Answer:

0.25\,\text{ha}
