Final answer:

The area of a rectangle that is 0.894 meters long and 0.665 meters wide is calculated by multiplying the two dimensions, which results in 0.595 square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the area of a rectangle, you use the formula length × width. For the given rectangle, the length is 0.894 meters and the width is 0.665 meters. Multiplying these two dimensions will give us the area in square meters.

Area = 0.894 m × 0.665 m = 0.59481 square meters. When we round this to three decimal places, as required by the options provided, we get 0.595 square meters. Therefore, the correct answer is b. 0.595 square meters.
