Answer:

19.83 square meters

Explanation:

So, if we are finding the area of a rectangular countertop, we need to multiply the length by the width. A=lw l=length w=width

First, we multiply the length and width of the countertop (13 and 5).

13x5=65 square feet 65 is the area of thecountertop in feet.

Next, we have to multiply that by 0.305 to convert it into meters.

65*0.305=19.825 square meters If we round it, its 19.83 square meters.
