Question

Your lab bench has a surface area of 5.2 square feet (5.2 ft2). what is the surface area in square inches (in2)?

Answer 1

We are given that the surface area A is:

A = 5.2 ft^2

To convert this into in^2, we know that there are 12 inches in 1 feet, so 12 in = 1 ft:

A = 5.2 ft^2 * (12 in / 1 ft)^2

A = 748.8 in^2
