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#
