To find the area, we need to multiply the length and width of the rectangle.
Given: a = 3 dm 4 cm b = 20 cm c = 4 dm
First, let's convert all the measurements to the same unit, centimeters.
1 decimeter (dm) = 10 centimeters (cm)
a = 3 dm * 10 cm/dm + 4 cm = 30 cm + 4 cm = 34 cm c = 4 dm * 10 cm/dm = 40 cm
Now we have: a = 34 cm b = 20 cm c = 40 cm
The area of the rectangle is given by:
S = a * b = 34 cm * 20 cm = 680 cm^2
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 680 square centimeters.
