Answer:

0.084m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

W (weight) = F (force) = 752N

P (pressure) = 9002Pa

Recall:

101325Pa = 101325N/m2

Therefore, 9002Pa = 9002N/m2

Pressure exerted on an object is simply force per unit area. It is represented mathematically as:

Pressure = Force /Area

With the above formula, we can easily find the area as follow:

Pressure = Force /Area

P = F/A

9002 = 752/A

Cross multiply to express in linear form

9002 x A = 752

Divide both side by 9002

A = 752/9002

A = 0.084m^2

Therefore, the area of his feet is 0.084m^2
