Answer:
<h2>
<em>6,142mm²</em></h2>
Explanation:
Given the dimension of a paper measured by a ruler as 7.4 cm wide and 8.3 cm long, the area of the paper is expressed using the area for calculating the area of a rectangle as shown;
Area of the piece of paper = Length * Width
Given length = 7.4cm
Length = 74mm (Since 10mm = 1cm)
Width = 8.3cm
Width (in mm) = 83mm
We converted to mm since the ruler used to measure has a division of 1mm.
Substituting the given values into the formula, we will have:
Area of the piece of paper = 74mm * 83mm
Area of the piece of paper = 6,142mm²
<em>Hence, the area of the piece of paper is 6,142mm²</em>
