Question 20.
The length and breadth of a rectangular plot are 5 x 105 and 4 x 104 metres respectively. Its area is .
(1) 9 x 101 m2
(2) 9 x 109 m2
(3) 2 x 1010 m2
(4) 20 x 10202 m2
Answer:
(3) 2 x 1010 m2
Hint:
l = 5 x 105 metres; b = 4 x 104 metres
∴ Area = l x b = 5 x 105 x 4 x 104
= 20 x 105+4= 20 x 109= 2.0 x 101 x 109 = 2 x 1010m2
