A rectangular cloth has a length of 15 cm and a breadth of 9 cm. What is its area in square centimetres?

Step-by-step solution

1. Let the length be $l=15$ cm and the breadth be $b=9$ cm.
2. The area of a rectangle is given by $A=l\times b$ because the rectangle has two perpendicular sides.
3. Substitute the given values: $A=15\times 9$.
4. Compute the product: $15\times 9=135$.
5. Hence the area is 135 cm${}^2$.
