Work out the area of his room in Square meters.

Given:-

  • Breadth of the room 250cm = 250/100 m = 2.5m

To Find:-

  • Area of the room.

Therefore,

Area of the rectangular room = (5.4 × 2.5) square meters

=> Area of the rectangular room = 13.5 square meters.

Answer:-

Area of his room is 13.5 square meters.

To Find:-

  • Total cost of flooring

Solution:-

Flooring cost in 1 squre meter = $40

Flooring cost in 13.5 square meters = $(40 × 13.5) = $540

Answer:-
