calculate the areas of a rectangle that is Length = 2.5 ft x Width 1.75 ft. Express your answer in meters squared
To calculate the area of a rectangle, you simply multiply its length by its width.
Length = 2.5 ft
Width = 1.75 ft
Area = Length x Width
Area = 2.5 ft x 1.75 ft = 4.375 ft²
To convert this area from square feet to square meters, we need to use the conversion factor: 1 ft² = 0.092903 m².
Area in square meters = 4.375 ft² x 0.092903 m²/ft²
Area in square meters = 0.405443125 m².
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 0.405443125 square meters.
