Question

A rectangular field measures 6.0 m by 8.0 m. What is the area of the field in square centimeters?

Answer 1

`480,000`sq.cm.

Explanation:

Area of the rectangular field=(length)(breadth)
`=6mxx8m=600cmxx800cm=480,000`sq.cm.

Answer 2

480 000 square cm

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle (A) is `color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(A=lb)color(white)(a/a)|)))`
where l represents the length and b, the breadth.

We should also know that `color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(1m=100cm)color(white)(a/a)|)))`

so `6m=6xx100=600cm" and " 8m=8xx100=800cm`

Substitute l = 600 and b = 800 into area formula.

`rArrA=600xx800=480000" square cm"`
