A countertop is 18 feet long and 7 feet wide.
Part 1 out of 2
What is the area of the countertop in square meters? Use the conversion 1 foot = 0.305 meter. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.
18 * 7 * .305^2
To find the area of the countertop in square meters, we need to convert the dimensions from feet to meters and then calculate the area.
Given:
Length of the countertop = 18 feet
Width of the countertop = 7 feet
Conversion:
1 foot = 0.305 meter
To convert the length and width from feet to meters, we can multiply them by the conversion factor:
Length in meters = 18 feet * 0.305 meter/foot
Width in meters = 7 feet * 0.305 meter/foot
Calculating the area:
Area = Length in meters * Width in meters
Now we can substitute the values and calculate the area:
Length in meters = 18 feet * 0.305 meter/foot = 5.49 meters (rounded to 2 decimal places)
Width in meters = 7 feet * 0.305 meter/foot = 2.14 meters (rounded to 2 decimal places)
Area = 5.49 meters * 2.14 meters = 11.76 square meters (rounded to 2 decimal places)
Therefore, the area of the countertop is 11.76 square meters (rounded to 2 decimal places).
