For this case we have that the conversion from feet to meters is given by:
[tex]1m = 3.28feet[/tex]
Then, converting the specified measure we have:
[tex]2.1m ^ 2 (\frac {3.28feet} {1m}) ^ 2[/tex]
Rewriting we have:
[tex]2.1m ^ 2 (\frac {3.28feet} {1m}) ^ 2 = 22.6feet ^ 2[/tex]
Answer:
the student’s error is: He forgot to square
the correct area in square feet is 22.6feet².
