Answer:
$2*10^(10)\ m^2$

Explanation:

We need to use the formula for calculate the area of a rectangle. This is:

A=lw

Where "l" is the length and "w" is the width.

In this case, we can say that:

$l=5*10^5\ m\\\\w=4*10^4\ m$

Therefore, substituting values into the formula, we get that the area of land in square meters is:

$A=(5*10^(5)\ m)(4*10^(4)\ m)\\\\A=2*10^(10)\ m^2$
