Given:
Length = 2.44 m
Width = 1.83 m
Determine the area of the quilt in square feet.
Since we are given the length and the width, we can assume that the shape is rectangular, hence we can solve the area by using the formula for the area of the rectangle.
A = lw
Solution:
Convert first the given values in meters to feet, to do so, we simply multiply 3 to the length and the width since 1 meter is equal to 3 feet.
Length = 2.44m
= (2.44 )(3)
= 7.32 ft
Width = 1.83 m
= (1.83)(3)
= 5.49 ft
Substitute the given values to the formula for Area.
A = lw
A= (7.32 ft)(5.49 ft)
A = 40.19 ft^2
Final answer:
The area of quilt is 40.19 ft^2
