See a solution process below:

The formula for the area of a rectangle is:

$A = l xx w$ where:

$A$ is the area of the rectangle: what we are solving for in this problem
$l$ is the length of the rectangle: $1.4"m"$ for this problem
$w$ is the width of the rectangle: $2.9"m"$
Note: assuming the unit for the width is also meters.

Substituting and calculating the Area gives:

$A = 1.4"m" xx 2.9"m"$

$A = 4.06"m"^2$
