Calculate in hectares the area of a rectangular farmland with dimensions 50m by 25m?
Answer Details
The area of a rectangular farmland can be calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the length of the farmland is 50 meters and the width is 25 meters, so the area is 50m x 25m = 1250 square meters.
However, the answer is not in square meters but in hectares, which is a unit of area commonly used to measure land. One hectare is equal to 10,000 square meters. To convert the area from square meters to hectares, we divide the area by 10,000: 1250 square meters / 10,000 = 0.125 hectares.
So, the answer is 0.125 hectares, or 0.125ha.
