Step-by-step solution

4 steps

Here's the solution for question 2e:

  1. Calculate the area of the Fadama land.

    Assuming the given sides AB and BC are perpendicular (forming a right-angled triangle), the area of the triangular land is:

    Area of land=12×base×height\text{Area of land} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} Area of land=12×1,000m×2,000m\text{Area of land} = \frac{1}{2} \times 1,000\text{m} \times 2,000\text{m} Area of land=12×2,000,000m2\text{Area of land} = \frac{1}{2} \times 2,000,000\text{m}^2 Area of land=1,000,000m2\text{Area of land} = 1,000,000\text{m}^2
  2. Convert the spacing units from centimeters to meters.

    The spacing is given as 400cm×400cm400\text{cm} \times 400\text{cm}.
    Since 1m=100cm1\text{m} = 100\text{cm}:

    400cm=400100m=4m400\text{cm} = \frac{400}{100}\text{m} = 4\text{m}

    So, the spacing is 4m×4m4\text{m} \times 4\text{m}.

  3. Calculate the area occupied by one sucker.

    Area per sucker=4m×4m\text{Area per sucker} = 4\text{m} \times 4\text{m} Area per sucker=16m2\text{Area per sucker} = 16\text{m}^2
  4. Calculate the total number of suckers needed.

    Number of suckers=Area of landArea per sucker\text{Number of suckers} = \frac{\text{Area of land}}{\text{Area per sucker}} Number of suckers=1,000,000m216m2\text{Number of suckers} = \frac{1,000,000\text{m}^2}{16\text{m}^2} Number of suckers=62,500\text{Number of suckers} = 62,500

    The number of suckers needed is 62,500\text{62,500}.
