She is correct because dimensions of rooms must always be measured in feet and area would be square feet.
She is correct because 2.81 times 10 Superscript 4 ftSquared is equivalent to 2, 810 ftSquared, which is an average size for a kitchen since area is always so much more than length.
She is incorrect because 2.81 times 10 Superscript 4 is around 30,000 so the units must be smaller than feet. She most likely measured in inches.
She is incorrect because 2.81 is a small number. She probably measured in yards to arrive at such a small value.

The correct statement about Ruchi's labeling of the units is:
She is correct because dimensions of rooms must always be measured in feet and area would be square feet.
Since she correctly recorded the area as \(2.81 \times 10^4\) square feet, which is 28,100 square feet, this area is a reasonable size for a kitchen. Therefore, her labeling is appropriate and consistent with standard measurement conventions for room dimensions.
