Answer:

  • 160,000 m²
  • 16 ha

Explanation:

The side length of a square is 1/4 of the perimeter, so the side length of the square orchard is (1600 m)/4 = 400 m.

The area of a square is the square of the side length, so the area of the orchard is (400 m)² = 160,000 m².

A hectare is 10,000 m², so the area of the orchard in hectares is ...

16·(10,000 m²) = 16 ha
