Answer:
Both m^2 and cm^2 are given below. Take your pick.
Explanation:
Area = L * W
L = 1.57 m * 100 cm / 1 meter = 157 cm
W = 45 cm
Area = 157 cm * 45 cm = 7065 cm^2
In meters, the width would be 45 cm * 1 m / 100 cm = 0.45 m
Area = L * W
L = 1.57 m
W = 0.45 M
Area = 1.57 * 0.45
Area = 0.7065 m^2
