Question

The circumference of a

square orchard is 1600
meters. How many square
meters does the orchard
cover? How many hectares?

Answer 1

160000m^2 = 16ha

Explanation:

Bit of a nit pick first the word is perimeter not circumference circumference only applies to circles. 1600/4=400 (divide by 4 because a square has 4 sides) 400^2=160000 (A=L*H the length and height are the same so you square it) 160000/10000=16 (1 hectare = 10000m^2), Hope this helps. :)

Answer 2

A square is 4 even sides.

the circumference around the square area is 1600 meters. This means that each side is 400 meters.

Square meters is the area of the square.

400 x 400 = 160000 m^2

To get to Hectares, you divide the squared measurement by 10,000.
