A square is a geometric shape also known as a quadrilateral. It is called a quadrilateral because it has four sides. The four sides of a square have equal length.
- It will take 2.4 hours to plow the square field.
- The area of a square = (Side length)²
- We are given the conversion rate: 1 mile = 5280 feet
- Step 1: We convert the length of the side of the square from mile to feet
1 mile = 5280 feet
1/8 mile = y feet
y feet = (1/8 mile x 5280 feet) / 1 mile
y feet = 660 feet.
The length of the side of the square in feet is 660 feet
- Step 2: We find the area of the square.
The area of a square = (Side length)²
Area of the square = (660 feet)²
= 435,600 square feet.
The area of the square field is 435,600 square feet
- Step 3: To find how long it will take to plow the field
180,000 square feet = 1 hour
435,600 square feet = h
- Cross Multiply
h = 435,600 square feet x 1 hour / 180,000 square feet
h = 2.42 hours
Therefore, approximately to the nearest tenth of an hour, it will take 2.4 hours to plow the square field.
