A farmer owns a field with an area of 0.77 km2. The farmer buys another field with an area of 33,400 m2. What is the total area of the fields he now owns in km2?
To find the total area of the fields the farmer now owns, we need to convert the area of the second field from square meters to square kilometers.
Given:
Area of the first field = 0.77 km^2
Area of the second field = 33,400 m^2
To convert square meters to square kilometers, divide the area in square meters by 1,000,000.
Area of the second field in km^2 = 33,400 m^2 / 1,000,000
Calculating this:
Area of the second field in km^2 = 0.0334 km^2
To find the total area owned by the farmer, add the areas of both fields.
Total area of the fields = Area of the first field + Area of the second field
= 0.77 km^2 + 0.0334 km^2
Calculating this:
Total area of the fields = 0.8034 km^2
Therefore, the farmer now owns a total area of 0.8034 km^2.
To find the total area of the fields the farmer now owns, we need to convert the area of the second field from square meters to square kilometers.
Given:
Area of the first field = 0.77 km²
Area of the second field = 33,400 m²
To convert square meters to square kilometers, we divide the area in square meters by 1,000,000 (since 1 square kilometer = 1,000,000 square meters).
Area of the second field in square kilometers = 33,400 m² / 1,000,000 = 0.0334 km²
Now, we can find the total area of the fields by adding the area of the first field to the area of the second field:
Total area of the fields = 0.77 km² + 0.0334 km² = 0.8034 km²
Therefore, the total area of the fields the farmer now owns is 0.8034 km².
well,
1 km^2 = (1000 m)(1000 m) = 1000000m^2
so
new purchase = 33400/1000000
= .0334 km^2
now just add them up
