Question

A search plane covers 50 square miles of countryside. How many hectares does the plane search

Answer 1

Since, a search plane covers 50 square miles of countryside.

We have to determine the hectares that the plane search covers.

Since 1 square mile= 258.99 hectares

To convert mile to hectare, we have to multiply it by 258.99

So, 50 square miles = $50 \times 258.99$

= 12949.5 hectares.

Therefore, a search plane covers 12949.5 hectares of countryside.
