Question

Find the area, in square metres, of a rectangle whose
(i) Length $=5.5m,$ breadth $=2.4m$
(ii) Length $=180cm,$ breadth $=150cm$

Answer 1

We have,
(i) Length $=5.5m,$ Breadth $=2.4m$

Therefore,

Area of rectangle $=$ Length $\times$ Breadth
$=5.5m\times 2.4m$
$=13.2m^2$

(ii) Length $=180cm=1.8m,$ Breadth $=150cm=1.5m$ [ Since $100cm=1m$]

Therefore,

Area of rectangle $=$ Length $\times$ Breadth $=1.8m\times 1.5m=2.7m^2$
