Question

5. A farmer's field has the dimensions shown. He needs to find the area of the field so that he knows how much seed to buy. 1/3 km 2 km AW square kilometers

Answer 1

Given: A farmer's field has the dimensions shown.

The field has a shape of a rectangle

$\begin{gathered} \text{Length}=L=2\frac{3}{4}km=\frac{4\cdot2+3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}km \\ \\ \text{Width}=W=1\frac{1}{3}km=\frac{3\cdot1+1}{3}=\frac{4}{3}km \end{gathered}$

The area of the rectangle = Lenth x Width

So, the area = A

$A=L\cdot W=\frac{11}{4}\cdot\frac{4}{3}=\frac{11}{3}=3\frac{2}{3}km^2$

so, the answer is area = 3 2/3 square kilometers
