Perimeter and Area

Question

Calculate the internal area of the living room: 

internal length 5.2m

internal width 2.95

Select the appropriate unit of measurement:___

Answer 1

is the width also in meters? if so, just multiply the length and width to get the area.

A = lw = (5.2 m)(2.95 m) = 15.34 m² meters times meters = meters²

if the width is not in meters, you need to convert the width to meters (or convert the length to whatever units the width is in). multiply the units to get squared whatevers.
