Question

What is the area of this plot in hectares?

Answer 1

The plot is made up of a rectangle and a trapezium:

Total area = area of rectangle+area of trapezium

`{ \tt{area = 2(l + w) + (1)/(2) h(a + b)}}`

substitute:

`{ \tt{area = 2 (300 + 196) + (1)/(2) (300 - 196)(480 + 300) }} \\ \\ { \tt{area = 992 + 40560}} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{ \: \: area = 41552 \: \: {m}^(2) \: \: }}}}`
