Question

Find the area of the rectangle whose sides are $2.5m$ and $1m5cm$.

Answer 1

Finding the area of the rectangle:

Given, length = $2.5m$

Breadth $=1m5cm$

$$\begin{gathered} =1m+\frac{5}{100}m \\ =1m+0.05m \\ =1.05m \end{gathered}$$

We know that,

Area of rectangle $=\mathrm{length}\times \mathrm{breadth}$

Therefore,

$\begin{array}{rcl}Area& =& 2.5\times 1.05\\ & =& 2.625m^2\end{array}$

Hence, the area of the rectangle is $2.625m^2$.
