The area of a rectangular field is 0.5 hectare if one side is 12.5 metre find the other side in metres
To find the length of the other side of the rectangular field in meters, we can use the given area and the dimension of one side.
First, let's convert the area from hectares to square meters.
Since 1 hectare is equal to 10,000 square meters, we can calculate:
0.5 hectares = 0.5 * 10,000 = 5000 square meters
Now, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle: Area = length × width
Given that one side is 12.5 meters, we can substitute the values into the formula:
5000 square meters = 12.5 meters × width
To solve for the width, we divide both sides by 12.5 meters:
5000 square meters ÷ 12.5 meters = width
Simplifying the equation gives us:
400 = width
Therefore, the other side of the rectangular field is 400 meters.
.5 hectare = 5000 m^2
x * 12.5 = 5,000
Solve for x.
