The plan, the scale of which is 1: 10000, shows a rectangular piece of land. Find the area of the site if on the plan its length and width are respectively 9.5 cm and 6.4 cm

1. Let’s increase the size of the site, given on the plan, by 10,000 times, we get its dimensions on the ground:
9.5 cm * 10000 = 95000 cm = 950 m.
6.4 cm * 10000 = 64000 cm = 640 m.
2. Let’s define the area of the site as the product of its width and length:
950 * 640 = 608000 m2. = 60.8 hectares.
Answer: the area of the site is 60.8 hectares.
