A countertop is 16 feet long and 3 feet wide. What is the area of the countertop in square meters.

Answer 1

  about 4.4593 m²

A foot is defined as 0.3048 meters, so the countertop has an area of ...

  (16 ft)·(0.3048 m/ft) × (3 ft)·(0.3048 m/ft) = 48 ft² × 0.09290304 m²/ft²

  = 4.45934592 m²

  ≈ 4.4593 m²

The countertop is a little less than 4.46 square meters in area.
