Actually in that instance, the "metre" was probably equivalent to the "square"
used in roofing measurement, or 100 square feet and not a modern meter.

The boards were sized so one linear foot was also one square foot to make the
calculation come out evenly. 12" wide boards were not at all uncommon 115 years
ago.

Agreed. Betcha the OP also can't pass the test
taken as an open book exam.

For the benefit of tripletask, "open book" means that
you're allowed to consult textbooks while taking the
test.
