Sure, I'd be happy to help with that.
To convert [tex]$9800$[/tex] hectares (hm²) into square kilometers (km²), we need to know the conversion factor between these two units of area.
1 hectometer squared (hm²) is equal to 0.01 square kilometers (km²).
Now, let's convert [tex]$9800$[/tex] hem² to km²:
[tex]\[
9800 \text{ hm}^2 \times 0.01 \left(\frac{\text{km}^2}{\text{hm}^2}\right)
\][/tex]
When you multiply the values, you get:
[tex]\[
9800 \times 0.01 = 98.0 \text{ km}^2
\][/tex]
Therefore, [tex]$9800$[/tex] hectometers squared is equal to [tex]$98.0$[/tex] square kilometers.
