A countertop is 16 feet long and 3 feet wide.What is the area of the countertop in square meters? *
Find the area of the countertop in meters using this formula: Area = Length X Width
you have the formula. what's the problem? Just do the math!
Once you have the area in ft^2, multiply by 0.0929 m^2/ft^2
Never mind its 14.
Interesting. How did you get 14?
To find the area of the countertop in square meters, we need to convert the measurements from feet to meters.
1. Start by converting the length from feet to meters. Since 1 foot is equivalent to 0.3048 meters, we can calculate the length in meters:
Length = 16 feet * 0.3048 meters/foot = 4.8768 meters
2. Next, convert the width from feet to meters using the same conversion factor:
Width = 3 feet * 0.3048 meters/foot = 0.9144 meters
3. Now that we have the length and width in meters, we can find the area by multiplying them together:
Area = Length * Width = 4.8768 meters * 0.9144 meters = 4.4592 square meters
Therefore, the area of the countertop is approximately 4.4592 square meters.
