D Correct answer
Explanation

The dimensions are 2.5 m by 2.5 m. Area = length * width = 2.5 * 2.5 = 6.25 m^2.

AI explanation

Using the area formula for a rectangle, length times width, we first convert the given dimensions entirely into metres. The dimensions are 2.5 m and 2.5 m. Multiplying these gives 2.5 * 2.5 = 6.25 m^2. The result is 6.25 m^2.
