To find the area of the baseboard, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is:
[tex]\[ \text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \][/tex]
Here, we are given:
- Length [tex]\( l = 15 \)[/tex] meters
- Width [tex]\( w = \frac{9}{10} \)[/tex] meters
Now we substitute these values into the area formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Area} = 15 \times \frac{9}{10} \][/tex]
Next, we perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[ \text{Area} = 15 \times 0.9 \][/tex]
Carrying out the multiplication:
[tex]\[ 15 \times 0.9 = 13.5 \][/tex]
Thus, the area of the baseboard is:
[tex]\[ 13.5 \, \text{square meters} \][/tex]
