We know that one inch is equal to 2.54 cm, this means that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8.5\text{ in=}21.59\text{ cm} \\ \text{and} \\ 11\text{ in=27.94 cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]To obtain the area of the page we multiply the width by the length then:
[tex](21.59)(27.94)=603.22[/tex]Therefore the area of the page is 603.22 squared cm
