A 6×9 rug is 183 × 274 cm, or 1.83 × 2.74 metres (72 × 108 inches, about 5 m²). A 200 × 300 cm rug is about 17 cm wider and 26 cm longer. A 6×9 can catch the front legs of a sofa up to about 240 cm wide. Whether the chairs fit too depends on the depth of the seating group.

What 183 × 274 cm covers in a real room
Six feet equals 182.88 cm and nine feet equals 274.32 cm. The rounded 183 × 274 cm size is about 5 m². Put the 274 cm side along a centred 220 cm sofa and the rug extends about 27 cm beyond each arm. With a 240 cm sofa, that drops to about 17 cm per end.

| Rug | Rounded size | Past each arm* |
|---|---|---|
| 5×8 | 152 × 244 cm | 22 cm |

*For the same centred 200 cm sofa as the drawings, along the rug's long side. Margins use the rounded rug dimensions. An 8×10 adds about 61 cm of depth and 31 cm of length over a 6×9, or about 2.4 m² of extra rug. That extra depth matters when you want the rear sofa legs or chairs to sit on it too.
Is 6×9 the same as 200 × 300 cm?
No. A 200 × 300 cm rug is roughly 17 cm wider and 26 cm longer. If both are centred in the same spot, the larger rug reaches about 9 cm farther at each short-side edge and 13 cm at each long-side edge. Mark both outlines on the floor when the rug sits near a door or another seat.
