Question

D'Quan grandmother made a quilt for his bed. The quilt is 2.44 meters long and 1.83 meters wide. What is the are of the quilt in square feet?

Answer 1

48.063 square feet.

Explanation:

We have been given that D'Quan grandmother made a quilt for his bed. The quilt is 2.44 meters long and 1.83 meters wide.

We can see that quilt is in form of a rectangle and area of a rectangle equals to width times length.

`\text{Area of rectangle}=\text{length}*\text{Width}`

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

`\text{Area of quilt}=2.44\text{ meters}*1.83\text{meters}`

`\text{Area of quilt}=4.4652\text{meters}^(2)`

1 square meter= 10.7639 square feet.

Now let us convert our given area in square feet by multiplying 4.4652 by 10.7639.

`\text{Area of quilt}=4.4652*10.7639`

`\text{Area of quilt}=48.06296628\approx 48.063`

Therefore, the area of quilt 48.063 square feet.
