34
Convert both lengths to the same units and then square those units. Either square metres or square centimetres seem the most appropriate here - possibly depending upon what you will be doing next with the area: 1 m = 100 cm → area = 1/2 x 1 m x 34 cm = 1/2 x 100 cm x 34 cm = 1700 cm2 or: 100 cm = 1 m → area = 1/2 x 1 m x 34 cm = 1/2 x 1 m x (34 ÷ 100) m = 0.17 m2
The first step in answering this question is to convert the metres value into cm. That makes the sum easier, and allows us to work with consistent units. There are 100cm in a m, so to convert from m to cm you have to multiply by 100. In this case, we have 0.5m, so multiply that by 100 to give 50cm. Therefore the question can be rewritten as how many cm is 50cm longer than 34cm. The answer is just 50-34 or 16cm.
