In the problem, “You have been told that a certain house is 164 m2 in area. How much is this in square feet?” The given is: Area = 164 meter2 Formula: Since to get the area you have to have length and width hence the formula of area which is: Area = length x width We can derive the equation. As length x area = area2 Solution: Length = area2 Length = square root of 164 meter squared Length = 12.81 meters Conversion: 12.81 meters x 3.2 ft / 1m = 42 ft Area = (42 ft)^2 Area = 1765 ft
