Question

A flower bed is 3 meters wide and 5 meters long. What is the area of the flower bed in square feet? Round intermediate calculations and your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

1 meter = 3.28 feet

3 meters x 3.28 = 9.84 feet

5 meters x 3.28 = 16.4 feet.

Area = Length x width

Area = 9.84 x 16.4 = 161.38 square feet.

Answer 2

1 meter = 3.28 feet

3 meters x 3.28 = 9.84 feet

5 meters x 3.28 = 16.4 feet.

Area = Length x width

Area = 9.84 x 16.4 = 161.38 square feet.
