Tahir measured the distance around a square field as 200 rods (lathi). Later he found that the length of this rod was 140cm. Find the side of this field in metres.


Given:

Distance around square field = 200 rods


Perimeter of field = 200 rods


200 × 140 = 4 × side


28,000 / 4 = side


side = 7000


1m = 100 cm


Side of field = 70 m
