Answer 2

Answer:  Without rounding : 13.64 (square cm)

Rounded answer : 13.6(square cm)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by :-

$A=l\times w$, where l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.

Given : The dimensions of a rectangle are 3.1 cm wide and 4.4 cm long.

Then, the area of rectangle will be:-

$A=4.4\times 3.1=\dfrac{44}{10}\times\dfrac{31}{10}\\\\=\dfrac{1364}{100}=13.64\text{ cm}^2\approx13.6\ cm^2 \text{Rounded to the nearest tenth}$

Therefore, the area of rectangle =$13.6\text{ cm}^2$
