**Problem 17: Area Conversion**The following exact conversion equivalents are given: - 1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm)- 1 inch (in) = 2.54 centimeters (cm)- 1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in)**Question:**If a computer screen has an area of 1.27 square feet (ft²), this area is closest to which of the following values? *(Show work)***Options:**A) 0.00284 square meters (m²) B) 0.0465 square meters (m²) C) 0.118 square meters (m²) D) 0.284 square meters (m²) E) 4.65 square meters (m²) **Detailed Solution Explanation:**To convert from square feet (ft²) to square meters (m²), follow these steps:1. **Convert feet to inches**: - Since 1 ft = 12 in, an area of 1.27 ft² can be seen as the area occupied by a square with a side length equivalent to the square root of 1.27 feet, all sides being of equal length.2. **Convert inches to centimeters**: - Since 1 in = 2.54 cm, find the equivalent area in cm².3. **Convert centimeters to meters**: - Since 1 m = 100 cm, further convert the area from cm² to m².This step-by-step conversion approach ensures the correct conversion from ft² to m² for accurately determining the area in square meters.

Given, 1m = 100 cm 1in = 2.54 cm 1ft = 12 in So, 1ft = 12× 2.54 cm = 30.48 cm Since 1 cm = 1/100…

17) The following exact conversion equivalents are given: 1 m = 100 cm , 1 in = 2.54 cm, and 1 ft 12 in. If a computer screen has an area of 1.27 ft2, this area is closest to (Show work). A) 0.00284 m2. B) 0.0465 m2. C) 0.118 m2. D) 0.284 m2. E) 4.65 m2.
