A piece of paper is 11 inches long and 8.5 inches wide. What is the area of the paper in square centimeters? (Please show work!)

goldenfox [79]

If you would like to know what is the area of the paper in square centimeters, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1 inch equals to 2.54 centimeters.

11 inches = 11 * 2.54 = 27.94 centimeters long
8.5 inches = 8.5 * 2.54 = 21.59 centimeters wide

11 inches long * 8.5 inches wide = 27.94 centimeters long * 21.59 centimeters wide = 27.94 * 21.59 = 603.22 square centimeters

The correct result would be 603.22 square centimeters.
