Answer:

5 m

Explanation:

We convert m to cm by adding 2 zeroes. So 11m = 1100 cm

A = l*w

where l = length and w = width

so w = 11 m

we are looking for l (length)

so set up an equation,

5500 = 11 * l

and divide by 11 on both sides

5500 / 11 = l = 500 cm

Check: 11 * 500 = 5500

We can remove two zeroes to get the value in meters.

500 cm = 5 m
