The area of the rectangular plot in hectares is 3.6 * 10^-8 hectares.
Calculating the Area:
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width. In this case, the dimensions are given in centimeters:
Area = 2.4 cm * 1.5 cm = 3.6 cm^2
Converting to Hectares:
1 hectare is equal to 10,000 square meters. To convert the area from square centimeters to hectares, we need to perform the following conversion:
3.6 cm^2 * (1 m / 100 cm)^2 * (1 ha / 10,000 m^2)
3.6 cm^2 * 0.0001 m^2/cm^2 * 0.0001 ha/m^2 = 3.6 * 10^-8 ha
Therefore, the area of the rectangular plot in hectares is 3.6 * 10^-8 hectares.
