The area of a rectangle can be calculated as the height times the wide.
But be careful, the problem asks it in square meters! So let's use meters instead of centimeters.
Remember that : 1 m = 100 cm ----> 1 cm = 0.01 m
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=b\cdot h \\ \\ A=0.16\cdot0.10 \end{gathered}[/tex]Doing the multiplication
[tex]A=0.016\text{ m}^2[/tex]Therefore the area of the poster is 0.016 square meters
