65. a 4.6 m-by-2.5 m rectangle

Do I space after the first m and before the hyphen. I don’t think the hyphen can be considered as “applying to” the abbreviation.

TIA

Hello. I don’t like the looks of this! If it is a worksheet, I might consider ignoring the hyphens. Otherwise, yes, you are correct that you should space after the first m and before the hyphen.
