Question

A square plot of land has side lengths of 40 meters. An archeologist divides the land into 64 equal parts What is the area of

each part?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Area of each part = Area of plot/Total parts

Area = 40 × 40/64

Area = 10 × 40/16

Area = 10 × 10/4

Area = 100/4

Area = 25 m²

Answer 2

Find the area of the plot of land:

40 x 40 = 1600 square meters.

Now divide total area by parts:

1600 / 64 = 25 square meters.

Answer: 25 square meters
