Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mr. Hershman has purchased a farm that is in the shape of a rectangle. The dimensions of the piece of land are 4.3 km by 4.85 km. The area of the rectangle is given by :

`A=l* b`

`A=4.3* 4.85`

`A=20.855\ km^2`

So, she must buy
`20.855\ km^2` of area.

Since,
`1\ km^2=100\ hectares`

So, the area of rectangle is 2085.5 hectares. Hence, this is the required solution.
