Study Notes
Calculating the Area of a Rectangle
- The formula to calculate the area of a rectangle is not explicitly stated, but it is commonly known as Area = Length × Width.
Converting Units and Finding the Area
- To convert 150 cm to meters, divide by 100 since there are 100 cm in 1 m, so 150 cm = 1.5 m.
- If the length is 2 m and the width is 1.5 m, the area of the table top is 2 m × 1.5 m = 3 m².
- Alternatively, if the width is given as 1.5 m, the area is still 2 m × 1.5 m = 3 m².
