Question

Miss Williams is knitting a blanket for her newborn granddaughter. The blanket is 2.25 m long and 1.8 m long. What is the area of deep like it? Write the answer in centimeters.

Answer 1

Area of the blanket = 40,500 sq cm

Explanation:

The length of the blanket = 2.25 m

The width of the blanket = 1.8 m

Now, as blanket forms a rectangular shape, and

AREA of a RECTANGLE = Length x Width

So, area of the blanket = 2.25 m x 1.8 m = 4.05 sq meters

Now, 1 sq meters = 10,000 sq centimeters

So, 4.05 sq meters = 4.05 x 10,000 sq cm

⇒Area of the blanket = 40,500 sq cm
