A flower bed is 4 meters wide and 5 meters long. What is the area of the flower bed in square feet? Round intermediate calculations and your answer to the nearest hundredth.
first you would get the are in meters which is 2x4=8 so then you get 8meters and convert it into square feet to get 86.1113 which rounded is 86.0
To find the area of the flower bed in square feet, we need to convert the measurements from meters to feet.
1 meter is equal to 3.28 feet, so we can use this conversion factor to convert the measurements.
The width of the flower bed is 4 meters, so we can multiply 4 by 3.28 to find the width in feet:
4 meters * 3.28 feet per meter = 13.12 feet.
Similarly, the length of the flower bed is 5 meters, so we can multiply 5 by 3.28 to find the length in feet:
5 meters * 3.28 feet per meter = 16.40 feet.
Now that we have the width and length of the flower bed in feet, we can calculate the area by multiplying them together:
Area = width * length = 13.12 feet * 16.40 feet = 214.91 square feet.
Therefore, the area of the flower bed is approximately 214.91 square feet, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
since 1m = 3.28 ft, the area is
4*5 * 3.28^2 = 215.17 ft^2
