A rectangular lawn has an area of 1815 square yards. if its length is 50 meters, find its width in meters given that 1 metre equals 1.1 yards

let's break it down step by step:

first, convert the area from square yards to square metres. We know that 1 metre = 1.1 yards, so:

1 yard = 1/1.1 metres ≈ 0.909 meters

now, let's convert the area:
remember that the area of the lawn is in square metres not just metre. so;

1815 square yards × (0.909 meters/yard)^2 ≈ 1815 × 0.826 ≈ 1500 square metres

use the formula for the area of a rectangle to find the width.
the formula for the area of a rectangle is:
Area = Length × Width

we know the area (1500 square meters) and the length (50 meters), so we can rearrange the formula to solve for the width:

Width = Area / Length
= 1500 square meters / 50 meters
= 30 meters

hope this helps.

It was said that your answer should be in metre but you left the answer in yards

How did they change the yards to meter

The answer should be 30 since the questions says 'calculate the width in metre'. So, 33 is incorrect which is in yards not metre. If converted to metre according to the question, the answer will be 30
