Question

A rectangular field is 450 meters long and 300 meters wide. What is the area of the field in square kilometers?

Answer 1

The field has an area of 0.135 km².

Explanation:

We first convert the measurements from meters to kilometers by dividing by 1000.

- - - - - - - - - - - Length: 450 m = (450/1000) km = 0.45 km

- - - - - - - - - - - Width: 300 m = (300/1000) km = 0.3 km

So the field is a rectangle 0.45 kilometers long and 0.3 kilometers width.

To compute the area of this rectangle, we multiply its length by it's width.

- - - - - - - - - - - Area = 0.45 × 0.3 = 0.135 km².

So the answer is 0.135 km².

Answer 2

13.5 km^2

Explanation:

soln

here,

l= 450m

b= 300m

we know,

area of rectangle = l×b

= 450×300

= 135000m^2

now into km,

13500 × ______ km

1000

=13.5 km^2
