Start by finding the area of the entire farm on the map.

Question

A scale map of a farm with dimensions 50 cm by 20 cm. Within the farm are a vegetable garden and a greenhouse with dimensions 25 cm by 10 cm.
The area of the entire farm is
square cm.

Answer 1

To find the area of the entire farm on the map, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

\[ \text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \]

For the farm, the dimensions are 50 cm by 20 cm.

\[ \text{Area of the entire farm} = 50 , \text{cm} \times 20 , \text{cm} = 1000 , \text{cm}^2 \]

Thus, the area of the entire farm is \(1000 , \text{square cm}\).
