Question

The area of a rectangular field is 0.5 ha. If one side is 12.5m, find the other side in meters

Answer 1

Answer:

400 m

Step-by-step explanation:

As 1 ha = 10000 m²

0.5 ha = 10000/2 => 5000 m² = Area of rectangular field

One side = 12.5 m

Let other side be x.

Area of rectangle = lb

=> 5000 = 12.5x

∴ x = 5000/12.5 => 400 m

Thus, the other side of this particular rectangular field is 400 m.
