The area of rectangle - shaped field is 0.5 ha .if one side is 12.5m ,find other in meters
0.5ha * (10000m^2/ha) / 12.5m = 400m
How steve
convert the area to m^2
area = length*width, so divide by the width to get the length
To find the other side of the rectangle in meters, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
Area = Length x Width
Given that the area of the rectangle is 0.5 hectares, we need to convert this into square meters:
1 hectare = 10,000 square meters
Therefore, 0.5 hectares = 0.5 x 10,000 = 5,000 square meters.
We are also given that one side of the rectangle is 12.5 meters.
So, let's substitute the values into the formula:
5,000 square meters = 12.5 meters x Width
To find the width (the other side of the rectangle), we can solve for it by dividing both sides of the equation by 12.5 meters:
Width = 5,000 square meters / 12.5 meters
Width = 400 meters
Therefore, the other side of the rectangle is 400 meters.
