Answer:

0.015 m²

Explanation:

Since we need the area in square meters, we need to first convert our centimeter values into meters.


(1m)/(100cm) =10cm

1 · 10 = 10
10/100 = 0.1 m


(1m)/(100cm) =15cm

1 · 15 = 15
15/100 = 0.15 m

The area of a rectangle is a = l · w. Plugging in the given values, we get:

a = 0.1 × 0.15

a = 0.015 m²

hope this helps!
