Answer 1

Given:

A table top with

• Length = 3 m
• Breadth = 50 cm = 0.5 m

What To Find:

We have to find the area of the table top.

Options:

(a) 150 sq.m

(b) 15 sq.m

(c) 1.5 sq.m

(d) 150 sq.m​

How To Find:

To find it we will use,

• Area = Length × Breadth

Solution:

Using the formula,

⇒ Area = Length × Breadth

Substitute the value,

⇒ Area = 3 m × 0.5 m

Multiply the sides,

⇒ Area = 1.5 sq.m

That is

Option C

∴ Hence, the area of the table top is 1.5 sq.m i.e option C.
