Question

Find the area of a rectangular park which is $36\frac{3}{5}$ m long and $16\frac{2}{3}$ m broad.

Answer 1

Area of the rectangular park = Length of the park $\times$ Breadth of the park (∵ Area of rectangle = Length $\times$ Breadth)

$$\begin{gathered} =36\frac{3}{5}\times 16\frac{2}{3} \\ =\left(36+\frac{3}{5}\right)\times \left(16+\frac{2}{3}\right) \\ =\frac{183}{5}\times \frac{50}{3} \\ =\frac{183\times 50}{5\times 3} \\ =\frac{9150}{15} \\ =610{\text{m}}^2 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the area of the rectangular park is $610{\text{m}}^2$.
