Answer 1

The area of this square in hectares and square kilometers is 352.1 hectares, 3.521 square kilometers

Option (A) is true.

Explanation:

To express the area of the square in hectares and square kilometers, we need to convert the given area of 3521000m² to these units.

1 hectare is equal to 10,000 square meters, and 1 square kilometer is equal to 1,000,000 square meters.

To convert the area to hectares, we divide the given area by 10,000:

3521000m² / 10,000

= 352.1 hectares

To convert the area to square kilometers, we divide the given area by 1,000,000:

3521000m² / 1,000,000

= 3.521 square kilometers

Therefore,

Option (A) is true.
