OpenStudy (janu16):

.

OpenStudy (janu16):

Do you mean 1000m = 1km?

OpenStudy (janu16):

@anthonyym

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Sorry yeah

OpenStudy (janu16):

So 2000m in 2km

OpenStudy (janu16):

So it says 2km by 2km so do I multiply 2000 by 2000?

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

2000m *2000m = 4000000m^2

OpenStudy (janu16):

Ya ok

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

1 hectacre = 10,000 m^2

OpenStudy (janu16):

So how i do it for hectare?

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Sorry I'm spelling it wrong. 1 hectare = 10,000 m^2

OpenStudy (janu16):

It say how many hectare so 10,000 is the answer?

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

No, you have to find out how many hectares are in 4,000,000m^2. 1 hectare = 10,000m^2 So divide 4,000,000 by 10,000

OpenStudy (janu16):

400?

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Yes. Using something called dimensional analysis: |dw:1461878437584:dw|
