A printing company makes plastic banners 15 ft long by 6 feet wide. How many square meters is the banner? Use 1 foot=0.305meters
Answer~ 8.37 square meters
(15 ft * (0.305 m / 1 ft)) * (6 ft * (0.305 m / 1 ft)= 8.37225~ rounded 8.37 square meters
To find the area of the plastic banner in square meters, we first need to convert the length and width from feet to meters.
Given:
Length of banner = 15 ft
Width of banner = 6 ft
1 foot = 0.305 meters
Converting the length and width to meters:
Length = 15 ft × 0.305 meters/foot = 4.57 meters
Width = 6 ft × 0.305 meters/foot = 1.83 meters
To find the area, we multiply the length by the width:
Area = Length × Width = 4.57 meters × 1.83 meters = 8.3571 square meters (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Therefore, the plastic banner has an area of approximately 8.36 square meters.
To calculate the area of the plastic banner in square meters, we first need to convert the dimensions from feet to meters using the conversion factor given.
Given:
Length of the banner = 15 ft
Width of the banner = 6 ft
1 foot = 0.305 meters
Converting the length from feet to meters:
15 ft * 0.305 meters/ft = 4.575 meters
Converting the width from feet to meters:
6 ft * 0.305 meters/ft = 1.83 meters
Now that we have the dimensions in meters, we can calculate the area of the banner by multiplying the length and width:
Area = length * width
Area = 4.575 meters * 1.83 meters
Multiplying these values gives us the area in square meters:
Area = 8.367675 square meters
Therefore, the plastic banner has an area of approximately 8.37 square meters.
Area of rectangle is length x width.
A = l * w
substitute and convert:
A = (15 ft * (0.305 m / 1 ft)) * (6 ft * (0.305 m / 1 ft))
A = ?
