Final answer:
The area of the rectangle is calculated by converting the breadth from centimeters to meters (300cm becomes 3m) and then multiplying it by the length (500m). The result is 1500 square meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of a rectangle, you would multiply the length by the breadth. However, for this problem, there's a catch – the length is given in meters (m) and the breadth is in centimeters (cm). In order to make these units consistent, we need to convert one of them. In this case, let's convert the breadth from cm to m. There are 100cm in a meter, so our breadth is 300cm / 100 = 3m.
Now, our length is 500m and our breadth is 3m. Thus, the area of the rectangle can be calculated by multiplying the length by the breadth. So, Area = Length x Breadth = 500m x 3m = 1500 square meters (m^2).
