To find the area in square millimeters of a rectangle that measures 2.4 meters by 1.2 meters, you can use the following steps:
Convert meters to millimeters:
- 1 meter = 1,000 millimeters
So, to convert 2.4 meters to millimeters:
- 2.4 meters * 1,000 millimeters/meter = 2,400 millimeters
Similarly, to convert 1.2 meters to millimeters:
- 1.2 meters * 1,000 millimeters/meter = 1,200 millimeters
Calculate the area of the rectangle:
- Area = Length × Width
- Area = 2,400 millimeters × 1,200 millimeters = 2,880,000 square millimeters
So, the area of the rectangle measuring 2.4 meters by 1.2 meters is 2,880,000 square millimeters.
