⇒ 1 hectogram = 102 gram
ii) 1 Deca = 101 = 10–4 hectare ∴ 1 m2 = 10– 4 hectare
ii) 1 km2 = 100 hectares
⇒ 1 decagram = 10 gram

Breadth of the school hall (b) = 12 m
100 kg
⇒x= = 10−1 Area of school hall = length × breadth (l × b) = 20
1000 kg m × 12 m = 240 m2
∴ One quintal = 10–1 ton Therefore, the area of the school hall is 240 m2.
