What is the area in square meters of a 100 ft xx 150 ft rectangular yard?

%1,394 m^2%

Explanation:

The first step is to convert the lengths of the rectangle from feet to meters. There are 3.281 feet in 1 meter (i.e., %1 m = 3.281 ft%).length = %100 ft x (1 m)/(3.281 ft)=30.5 m%width = %150 ft x (1 m)/(3.281 ft)=45.7 m%Area = length %x% widthArea = %30.5 m x 45.7 m%Area = %1,394 m^2%NOTE: You can also plug the question directly into Google, Bing, or Wolfram Alpha and it will give you the answer (but without the work above).
