Question

A farmers field has the dimensions shown. He needs to find the area of the field so that he knows how much he needs to buy .Whats the area the field?

Answer 1

Area of the rectangular Field = 3 8/9 km²

Explanation:

Length of the field = 2 1/3 km

Width of the field = 1 2/3 km

Area of a rectangular Field = length × width

= 2 1/3 × 1 2/3

= 7/3 × 5/3

= (7*5)/(3*3)

= 35/9

Area of the rectangular Field = 3 8/9 km²

Perimeter of the rectangular Field = 2(length + width)

= 2(2 1/3 + 1 2/3)

= 2(7/3 + 5/3)

= 2(7+5/3)

= 2(12/3)

=2(4)

= 8 km

Perimeter of the rectangular Field = 8 km
