Answer 1

The area of the rectangular board is calculated as 1200 mm by 800 mm, resulting in 960,000 square millimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangular board is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the board is 1.2 meters long (1200 millimeters) and 0.8 meters wide (800 millimeters). To find the area in square millimeters, we multiply 1200 mm by 800 mm.

Area = Length × Width
Area = 1200 mm × 800 mm
Area = 960,000 mm2

Therefore, the area of the board is 960,000 square millimeters.
