Re: Home work question
.1 x .8 m =.08 m2
10cm x 80cm = 800 cm2
(1m2 = 100 x 100 cm = 10,000cm2)
 three wrong answers

Re: Home work question
10cm x 80cm = 800cm^2
0.1m x 0.8m = 0.08m^2
What do I win?
Or rather, what could I have won if I'd typed a bit faster

Re: Home work question
If it is a box and you want the area then it is simply the length times the width = area
If you mean the volume then get the area and times it by the height.
I think that's right.
