Question

One of the tents you look at has a base measuring 3 metres long and 250 centimetres wide.

What is the area of the tent?  
 
m2

Answer 1

Answer:

$7.50\ m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle can be calculated using formula

$A_{rectangle}=\text{length}\cdot \text{width}.$

Since the tent has a base measuring 3 metres long and 250 centimetres wide, then the length is 3 m and the width is 2 m 50 cm or 2.50 m.

Thus, the area is

$A_{tent}=3\cdot 2.50=7.50\ m^2.$
