Question

A rectangle had sides of 8.80 ft and 24.1 ft. Calculate the area of the rectangle in cm^2 (you should get 197000 cm^2) show your work

Answer 1

I ft  = 30.48 cm

length l = 8.80 ft = 8.80* (30.48 cm) = 268.224 cm

width w = 24.1 ft = 24.1 * (30.48 cm) = 734.568 cm

Area  A = l*w = (268.224 cm)(734.568 cm)

A = 197028 cm^2

A = 197000 cm^2
