Question

A rectangle board is 1200 millimeters long and 700 millimeters wide. What is the area of the board in square meters? Do not round your answer. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

Given:

Length of the rectangular board: 1200 milimeters

Width of the rectangular board: 700 millimeters

To find:

The area of the board in square meters

Step-by-step solution:

We know that:

Area of a board = length × width

Area of a board = 1200 × 700

Area of a board = 8,40,000 millimeter square

Now we will convert this area into square meters:

1 square meter = 1000000-millimeter square

Thus,

8,40,000 millimeter square = 0.84 square meters
