a) The area of the rectangular plot in square meters is calculated by multiplying its length by its width:

Area = Length x Width = 800 m x 415 m = 332000 square meters

Therefore, the area of the plot in square meters is 332000 square meters.

b) To convert square meters to hectares, we divide the area in square meters by 10,000:

Area in hectares = Area in square meters / 10,000

Area in hectares = 332000 / 10000

Area in hectares = 33.2 hectares

Therefore, the area of the plot in hectares is 33.2 hectares.

c) To convert square meters to square kilometers, we divide the area in square meters by 1,000,000:

Area in square kilometers = Area in square meters / 1,000,000

Area in square kilometers = 332000 / 1000000

Area in square kilometers = 0.332 square kilometers

Therefore, the area of the plot in square kilometers is 0.332 square kilometers.
