Examples

1

Consider that a farm spans 50 hectares.
Convert this area from hectares to Square Kilometers.

Answer:

Given:

The area in hectares is:

Area(Hectares) = 50

Formula:

The formula to convert area from hectares to square kilometers is:

Area(Square Kilometers) = Area(Hectares) × 0.01

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Area(Hectares) = 50 in the above formula.

Area(Square Kilometers) = 50 × 0.01

Area(Square Kilometers) = 0.5

Final Answer:

Therefore, 50 ha is equal to 0.5 km2.

The area is 0.5 km2, in square kilometers.

2

Consider that a forest reserve covers 300 hectares.
Convert this area from hectares to Square Kilometers.

Answer:

Given:

The area in hectares is:

Area(Hectares) = 300

Formula:

The formula to convert area from hectares to square kilometers is:

Area(Square Kilometers) = Area(Hectares) × 0.01

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Area(Hectares) = 300 in the above formula.

Area(Square Kilometers) = 300 × 0.01

Area(Square Kilometers) = 3

Final Answer:

Therefore, 300 ha is equal to 3 km2.

The area is 3 km2, in square kilometers.

Hectares

A hectare is a unit of area measurement equal to 10,000 square meters or 100 ares. It is commonly used in agriculture, forestry, and land management to measure large plots of land. Hectares are particularly significant in countries that use the metric system, as they provide a convenient way to quantify large land areas for farming, conservation, and property transactions. One hectare is roughly equivalent to 2.47 acres.

Square Kilometers

A square kilometer (km2) is a unit of area measurement equal to one million square meters or the area of a square with sides one kilometer long. It is commonly used to measure large areas such as cities, regions, and natural landscapes. Square kilometers are crucial in geography, urban planning, and environmental studies, helping to quantify and compare vast tracts of land or water, such as forests, lakes, and entire countries.
