Answer:
3m²
Step-by-step explanation:
A square is quadrilateral (four sides) in which all sides are equal. Also, opposite sides are parallel to one another and all the four angles in a square are 90 degrees each.
The area of a square is given as:
Area = length * length
Given that the square has side lengths of m centimeters, therefore:
The area of each square = m cm × m cm = m² cm²
There are three rows of m squares, hence the total number of square is:
Total square = 3 rows * m squares per row = 3m squares
The total area of the square = area of each square * total number of square = m² * 3m = 3m² cm²
Here's the rule for working with these things:
There are 3 signs associated with a fraction:
=> the sign of the numerator
=> the sign of the denominator
=> the sign of the whole fraction; (if the fraction were in
parentheses, this sign would be written outside).
-- You can change any 2 of them without changing the value of the fraction.
-- Changing any 1 of them changes the effective sign.

Now, you said the fraction is negative.
So, let's start with the positive fraction, and see the different ways
that we could make it a negative fraction:
=> mark only the numerator negative
=> mark only the denominator negative
=> put parentheses around the fraction, and mark it negative outside
If you do any one of these things to a normal positive fraction,
it turns into a negative fraction.
Look at the choices you listed in the question:
-- in the numerator only ? Yes. That makes it a negative fraction.
-- in the denominator only ? Yes. That makes it a negative fraction.
-- both ? No. That makes it the same as a positive fraction.
-- put parentheses around the fraction, and a negative sign outside ?
Yes. This makes it a negative fraction.
-- it doesn't matter ? No. I hope you can see that it does matter.
Have I confused you ?
Is this more than you wanted to know ?
