A table top measures 2 m by 1 m 50 cm. What is its area in square metres?


We know that,

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth


It is given in the question that,


Length of rectangle = 2 m


Breadth of rectangle = 1 m50 cm = (1 + ) m = 1.5 m


Therefore,


Area = Length × Breadth


= 2 × 1.5


= 3 m2
