Given:
shape: rectangle
length: 1200 mm
width: 800 mm
Find: area in square meters
Solution:
First, let's convert the given dimensions to meters.
Conversion rule is 1 m = 1000mm. Let's convert the length first.
Length = 1.2 meters
Now, let's convert the width.
Width = 0.8 meters
Now that we are done converting the dimensions of the board to meters, let's solve for the area. The formula is:
Let's plug in the converted dimensions to the formula.
Therefore, the area of the board is 0.96 square meters.
