The dimensions of field are
0.1020 km* 0.0640 km. The area can be calculated as follows:


A=l* b=0.1020 km* 0.0640 km=6.526* 10^(-3)km^(2)

Converting
km^(2)\rightarrow m^(2),

1 km =1000 m

Thus,
1km^(2)=10^(6)m^(2)

or,
6.526* 10^(-3)km^(2)=6.526* 10^(3)m^(2)

Since, cost of new artificial turf is
\$ 9.50/m^(2), thus, cost for
6.526* 10^(3)m^(2) will be:


Cost= \$ 9.50/m^(2)* 6.528* 10^(3)m^(2)=\$ 62016

Therefore, cost of artificial turf for field will be
\$ 62016.
