Question

The standard exam page is 8.50 inches by 11.0 inches. Its area in cm 2 is?

Answer 1

We know that one inch is equal to 2.54 cm, this means that:

`\begin{gathered} 8.5\text{ in=}21.59\text{ cm} \\ \text{and} \\ 11\text{ in=27.94 cm} \end{gathered}`

To obtain the area of the page we multiply the width by the length then:

`(21.59)(27.94)=603.22`

Therefore the area of the page is 603.22 squared cm
