Question 227803
On a map scale 1 cm to 250 m the area of a car park is 3cm^2. What is the actual area of the car park in hectares? (1 hectares = 10,000m^2). 
.
Since each cm is 250 m
a square of 3 cm on a side is actually (area):
(3*250)(3*250)
750*750
562500 m^2
.
Converting to hectares:
562500 m^2  * 1hectares/10000 m^2
562500/10000
56.25 hectares
