Find the area (of the floor) of a room measuring 4.45m by 300cm.
First, you need to have common units of either meters or centimeters.
Convert 300cm to meters.
100cm = 1m. Multiply both sides by 3.
300cm = 3m.
Now use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
A = L*W Substitute L = 4.45m and W = 3m.
A = (4.45)*(3)
A = 13.35 sq.m
