Final answer:
To calculate the area of a space, the length and width of a rectangle are multiplied. Without clear information on the shape, accurate calculation is not possible, but an estimated area can be given by pairing different dimensions.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is attempting to calculate the area of a space with given dimensions. As the measurements seem to be lengths of sides of a surface, it's important to confirm whether this is a rectangular or irregular shape to determine the method to use for calculating the area.
Assuming it's a rectangular space, the area is calculated by multiplying the length by the width. However, the provided dimensions don't clearly indicate which pair of opposite sides are equal, which is necessary for calculating the area of a rectangle. If this is an irregular four-sided figure (a quadrilateral), additional information would be needed to accurately calculate the area, such as the angles between sides or whether it's a particular type of quadrilateral like a trapezoid.
Without more context, we can make an educated guess strictly based on the numbers provided. Assuming that the longest and shortest sides are length and width, the area would be 0.95m * 1.95m = 1.8525 m², which is not listed in the options. If we pair the dimensions differently, as 1.3m * 1.95m, we obtain an area of 2.535 m². This aligns more closely to option (b) 2.7125 m², but without precise instructions, we cannot be certain of the student's figure. A clarification on the shape is essential for a definitive answer.
