Answer:

D. 48 square meters

Explanation:

The rectangular mirror measures 6 meters by 8 meters.

To find the amount of space the mirror will cover, we simply need to find the area of the mirror.

The area of a rectangle is:

A = L * B

where L = length

B = breadth

Therefore, the area of the mirror is:

A = 6 * 8 = 48 square meters

The mirror will cover an area of 48 square meters.
