Question

There are three square gardens whose lengths of the sides are 3 ft, 7ft, and 2 ft respectively. Find the total area of the three gardens in square feet.

65
60
62
64

Answer 1

62

Explanation:

1. To find the total area, we must find the area of the three individual gardens and sum them together

2. Since the gardens are square, the area is equal to the side length squared

3. Therefore, square the sides and sum:

3^2 = 9

7^2 = 49

2^2 = 4

4+9+49 = 62
