Question

11. How many rectangular plots of land 40 m x 20 m can be cut from a
square field of side 1 hm? (1 hm = 100 m)​

Answer 1

Answer:

12 such rectangular plots can be cut out.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that here we have been given that we have to calculate the number of the rectangular plots that we can cut out from the square field.

We have here the length and breadth of the rectangular plot = 40 m and 20 m respectively.

Area of the given rectangle plot = l × b

= 40 m × 20m

= 800 $m^{2}$

We have here the side of the square field = 1 hm = 100m

Area of the field = $side^{2}$

= 100m × 100m

= 10000 $m^{2}$

Therefore the number of the rectangular plots that can be cut out =

= 10000 $m^{2}$  ÷ 800 $m^{2}$

= 12.5

Hence we can cut 12 plots of land from the square field.
