Answer:

193.75 square feet or 193.75 ft²

Explanation:

A flower bed is 3 meters wide and 6 meters long.

From the question , our final answer is to be in square feet.

Hence:

Step 1

We convert dimensions to feet

For width

= 3 meter

1 meter = 3.28084 feet

3 meter = x

x = 3 × 3.28084 feet

x = 9.84252 feet

For Length

= 6 meter

1 meter = 3.28084 feet

6 meter = x

x = 6 × 3.28084 feet

x = 19.685 feet

Step 2

We calculate the area of the flower bed

The formula is given as:

Length × Breadth

Hence: 9.84252 feet × 19.685 feet

= 193.7500062 square feet

Approximately to the nearest hundredth = 193.75 square feet or 193.75 ft²

The area of the flower bed in square feet is 193.75 square feet or 193.75 ft²
