Question

1. convert 2.6 ft² to m² (1 inch = 2.54 cm) (3pts) 0.24 m² 2.8 m² 6.6 m² 5.1 m²

Explanation:

Step1: Convert feet to inches

$2.6\ \text{ft}^2 = 2.6 \times (12\ \text{in})^2 = 2.6 \times 144\ \text{in}^2 = 374.4\ \text{in}^2$

Step2: Convert inches to cm

$374.4\ \text{in}^2 = 374.4 \times (2.54\ \text{cm})^2 = 374.4 \times 6.4516\ \text{cm}^2 \approx 2415.48\ \text{cm}^2$

Step3: Convert cm² to m²

$2415.48\ \text{cm}^2 = \frac{2415.48}{10000}\ \text{m}^2 = 0.241548\ \text{m}^2$

Answer:

0.24 $\text{m}^2$
