Answer 1

938.45 cm2 is the correct answer to this.

Answer 2

Answer: There is area of 938.45 cm² of first prize painting.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Greatest area = 3003.04 cm²

The painting that wins first prize has an area that is 3.2 times smaller than the greatest area.

That means,

3.2 × Area of first prize painting = Greatest painting

So, the area of the first prize painting is given by

`=(3003.04)/(3.2)=938.45\ cm^2`

Hence, there is area of 938.45 cm² of first prize painting.
