Answer:

1 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

P = F/A.................. Equation 1

Where P = Pressure, F = Force, A = Area

Make A the subject of the equation

A = F/P............... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: F = 400 N, P = 400 N/m²

Substitute these values into equation 2

A = 400/400

A = 1 m²

Hence the area of the person is 1 m²
