A room is 4m and 20cm long, 2m and 20 cm wide. The area of the carpet needed to cover the floor of the room is
9.24 m2
1m = 100 cm.
Hence, 4m 20 cm = 420cm and 2m 20cm = 220cm
area of rectangle = length x breadth
= 420 cm x 220 cm
= 92400 cm2
= 9.24m2 (1 m2 = 10000 cm2)
9.24 m2 is the area of the carpet needed to cover the floor of the room.
