Answer 1

The area of the sheet is approximately 50.59 m² or 50.6 m²

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the following expression:

`area = width*height`

Since breadth is the same as the width of the sheet, we can calculate its area as shown below:

`area = 9.96*5.08 = 50.59`

The area of the sheet is approximately 50.59 m² or 50.6 m²
