Question:
If the line below was 0.2 mm thick, how many metres long would the line need to be to cover an area of one square metre?

Respuesta :

The line must be 5000 meters long, to have an area of one square meter

The question is an illustration of area

What is area?

The area of a shape is the amount of space occupied by the shape.

From the question, we have the following parameters

[tex]Area =1m^2[/tex]

[tex]Width = 0.2mm[/tex]

Convert the unit from mm to m

[tex]Width = 0.2 \times 0.001 m[/tex]

[tex]Width = 0.0002 m[/tex]

The area is then calculated as:

[tex]Area =Length \times width[/tex]

This gives

[tex]1=Length \times 0.0002[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.0002

[tex]Length = 5000[/tex]

Hence, the line must be 5000 meters long
