The area of the field = area of the shape of the rectangle

As shown in the figure

Length = L = 2 3/4 km

Width = W = 1 1/3 km

Area = A = Length x Width


A=2(3)/(4)\cdot1(1)/(3)=(4\cdot2+3)/(4)\cdot(3\cdot1+1)/(3)=(11)/(4)\cdot(4)/(3)=(11)/(3)=3(2)/(3)km^2

so, the answer is area = 3 2/3 square kelometers
