The area of a rectangular field is 0.5 hectare. If one side is 12.5 m, find the other side in meters.

Given: Area of the rectangular field = 0.5 hectare


We have, 1 hectare = 10000 m2


⇒ 0.5 hectare = 0.5 × 10000 m2 = 5000 m2


We know, area of a rectangle = length × breadth


It is given that one side is 12.5 m.


Let the other side be ‘x’ m.


⇒ 5000 = 12.5 × x


⇒ 12.5x = 5000



Thus, the other side of the rectangular field is 400 m.
