Question

You have been told that a certain house is 164 m2 in area. How much is this in square feet?

Answer 1

Find the side length

\(Area=side^2\rightarrow side=\sqrt A=\sqrt{164~m^2}=12.8~m\)



1 ft =0.3048 m

Convert side of 12.8 m to feet

\(12.8~m*\dfrac{1~ft}{0.3048~m}=41.9947~ft\approx 42~ft\)

\(Area=side^2=(42~ft)^2=1764~ft\)

Answer 2

Correction: \(1764~ft^2\)**
