four workers are hired to weed a field by hand. each is given a plot which is 10 x 7 ft in size. what is the total area of the field?

Respuesta :

1) Area = a*b
= 10*7
= 70
2) Four workers with four 70ft plots
= 4*70
=280 ft

Hope this helps!

The total area of the field is 280 sq. ft.

What is unitary method?

"A process of finding the value of a single unit, and based on that value we can find the required value."

What is the area of the rectangle?

"[tex]A=l\times w[/tex], where l is the length and w is the width."

For given question,

We have been given the dimension of a plot which is 10 x 7 ft

From the dimension we can say that, a plot must be rectangular in shape.

Here, length (l) = 10 ft

and width = 7 ft

Using the formula for the area of the rectangle,

[tex]\Rightarrow A=l\times w\\\Rightarrow A=10\times 7\\\Rightarrow A=70~ft^2[/tex]

This means, the area of each plot is 70 sq. ft.

Four workers are hired to weed a field by hand.

Using unitary method the total area of the field would be,

[tex]70\times 4= 280~sq.ft.[/tex]

Therefore, the total area of the field is 280 sq. ft.
