Question : 7

Total: 50

Solution:

Concept:

Area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width.

Then convert square metres into hectares using

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

Explanation:

Area of the farmland

= 50\text{ m} \times 25\text{ m} = 1250\text{ m}^2

Since

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

, divide the area in square metres by

10{,}000

1250 \div 10{,}000 = 0.125\text{ ha}

Therefore, the area of the rectangular farmland is

0.125

hectares.

Answer:

0.125

ha, i.e. Option D.
