Don Pedro has a rectangular piece of land measuring 350 meters and 260 meters in length and width, respectively. If he decides to partition the land into five equal parts, what is the area of each piece of land?
-----
Total Area = (350)(260) meters^2
-----
Each of 5 equal parts:: (350*260)/5 = 70*260 = 18,200
