Question 1 Report

Calculate the area of the farmland.

0.32ha

0.36ha

0.47ha

0.52ha

Answer Details

To calculate the area of the farmland, we need to know the dimensions of the land. However, as we are only given the area of the land in hectares, we cannot determine the length and width of the land directly. Hectares are a unit of area commonly used to measure land. One hectare is equal to 10,000 square meters or approximately 2.47 acres. Therefore, to calculate the area of the farmland in square meters, we can multiply the given area in hectares by 10,000. For example, if the given area is 0.32 hectares, we can calculate the area in square meters as follows: Area in square meters = 0.32 hectares x 10,000 square meters/hectare Area in square meters = 3,200 square meters Similarly, we can calculate the area in square meters for each given option and compare them to determine which one is the largest. The largest area in square meters corresponds to the largest option in hectares.
