A farmland measures 50m x 50m. Determine its area in hectares.
Answer Details
To determine the area of a farmland in hectares, we first need to calculate its area in square meters. A farmland that measures 50m x 50m has an area of 50m x 50m = 2500m^2.
Next, we need to convert square meters to hectares. One hectare is equal to 10,000 square meters. To convert square meters to hectares, we divide the number of square meters by 10,000.
So, 2500m^2 / 10,000 = 0.25 hectares.
Therefore, the area of the farmland is 0.25 hectares.
