area=legnth times width
legnth=16 ft
width=3 ft
but wait, they want the area in squazre METERS
so convert feet to meters
1 foot=0.3048 meters
convert 16 feet and 3 feet to meters
16 feet=16 times 0.3048=4.8768
3 feet=3 times 0.3048=0.9144
so the area is now
legnth=4.8768 m
width=0.9144m
area=4.8768 m times 0.9144 m=4.45934592
round
4.0
answer is 4 square METERS
4 m^2
