Answer:
The area of the plot is 38.5 km²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
• The plot is rectangular and is 7 km long
• 5 km 500 m broad
To find :
• The area of the plot in square kilometres
Solution:
Convert
⇒ 5 km 500 m in km
⇒ 5000 + 500 = 5500
⇒ 5500 / 1000
⇒ 5.5 km
★ Breadth = 5.5 km
★ Length = 7 km
Now,
Area of rectangle = length × breadth
⇒ 7 × 5.5
⇒ 38.5 km²
Therefore,
The area of the plot is 38.5 km²
