Solution
Solution Steps
To find the area of a rectangular patch of land, you need to multiply its length by its width.
Step 1: Identify the Given Values
We are given the length and width of a rectangular patch of land:
Length (\( l \)) = 75 meters
Width (\( w \)) = 47 meters
Step 2: Calculate the Area
The area (\( A \)) of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:
\[ A = l \times w \]
Substituting the given values:
\[ A = 75 \times 47 \]
Step 3: Perform the Multiplication
Perform the multiplication to find the area:
\[ A = 3525 \, \text{square meters} \]
