Answer:

1.05 m

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is length x width

The area is given as 18,900 cm2 and the width is 1.8 m

These need to be in the same unit, either cm or m

1 m = 100 cm

change the 1.8 m width to cm by multiplying by 100

1.8 x 100 = 180 cm

plug in 180 for the width

again, area = L x W

so 18,900 = L x180

L = 105 cm

The question asked for the length in meters so convert back

105 cm รท 100 = 1.05 meters

Answer: 1.05 meters
