Question

a man walking at the rate of 3km/h covers one side of the square field in 1min. What is the area of the field?

Answer 1

Answer:

500m²

Explanation:

So 3km basically means 3000m. Since it takes him 1 hour to walk 3000m, to figure out how much he walks in 1 minute, divide 3000 by 6, which is 500m. So now we know that one side of the field is 500m. And the formula to calculate area of a square is side x side, hence the area of the field is 500m².
