Too small to see at this scale. The ring marks its true-scale position, not its area. The shape has not been enlarged.
100 hectare farm
A farm is land used for growing crops or raising animals for food production.
1 km²Area
Too small to see at this scale. The ring marks its true-scale position, not its area. The shape has not been enlarged.
Both shapes share one area scale. Known rectangular footprints keep their physical sides. Other shapes are equal-area squares, not maps; they do not prove a physical fit.
A little perspective
The area of a 100 hectare farm is about 2 times 50 hectares.
