The area of a rectangle is:


\text{Length}*\text{ Width}

Given that the area of a rectangle is


25\operatorname{cm}*100\operatorname{cm}

Convert the dimensions to feet


\begin{gathered} 1\operatorname{cm}\to0.0328084\text{ fe}et \\ 25\operatorname{cm}\to25*0.0328084=0.82021\text{ f}eet \\ 100\operatorname{cm}\to100*0.0328084=3.28084\text{ fe}et \end{gathered}

Hence the area of the rectangle in square feet would be:


\begin{gathered} 0.82021feet*3.28084feet \\ \approx2.691feet^2 \end{gathered}

The area of the rectangle is approximately 2.691 feetĀ²
