Question

The dimensions of top of the table is $2m$ by $1m50cm$. What is its area in square meters.

Answer 1

Given: Length ($l$) of the table = $2m$

Breadth ($b$) of the table = $1m50cm=1m+\frac{50}{100}m=1.5m$ [$\because 1cm=\frac{1}{100}m$]

Area = Length $\times$ Breadth

= $2\times 1.5$

= $3m^2$

Hence, area of the table is $3m^2$.
