So, the area is 3.5*4.5 = 15.75 meters.
You are asked to express your answer in inches. Presumably, your teacher or your textbook contains a factor that converts meters to inches. THe conversion factor to two decimal places is 1 meter = 39.37 inches. Check to see if you were given a different conversion factor.
