Question

A rectangular section of land made up of wheat farms has a length of 5 x 10^4 meters and a width of 6 x 10^3 meters. What is the area of the land in square meters?

Answer 1

the length of the rectangular section is, l = 5 x 10^4 meters

width is, b = 6 x 10^3 meters

the area of the land is,

A = l x b

A = (5 x 10^4 ) * (6 x 10^3)

A = 30x 10^(4+3)

A = 30 x 10^7

or

A = 3 x 10^8 squre meter
