Find the area of a rectangular plywood sheet if its length is 1 m 5 cm and its width is 97 cm less.

The solution of the problem:
The area of a rectangle is equal to the product of the length and width of the rectangle. To answer the question of the problem, you need to know the width of the plywood sheet. From the condition of the problem, it is known how much the width of the sheet is less than its length.
1. Let’s calculate what is the width of the plywood sheet.
1 meter 5 centimeters equals 105 centimeters.
105 – 97 = 8 centimeters.
Let’s answer the question of the problem.
2. Find the area of the plywood sheet.
105 * 8 = 840 centimeters = 8 meters 40 centimeters.
Answer: The area of a plywood sheet is eight meters and forty centimeters.
