Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula

The area formula for a rectangle is $A = l\times w$, where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width.

Step2: Substitute values

Given $l = 7.5$ meters and $w = 5.3$ meters. So $A=7.5\times5.3$.

Step3: Calculate the product

$7.5\times5.3 = 39.75$ square - meters.

Answer:

39.75 square meters
