A rectangular tabletop measures 200 centimetres by 150 centimetres. Select all the statements that are true about the area of this tabletop in square metres.

Dividing by a hundred instead would hand a kitchen table the floor space of a large house, which is the clearest sign that a length factor was applied to a surface.
