Answer:

(2 in x 2 in) + (6 in x 6 in) + (9 in x 9 in) = (11 in x 11 in)

4 + 36 + 81 = 121

Explanation:

Using perfect squares, we can find the sum of two or more squares that will equal an 11 in by 11 in square, or 121 in²:

2² + 6² + 9² = 4 + 36 + 81 = 121

So, 2 in by 2 in plus 6 in by 6 in plus 9 in by 9 in equals the total area of an 11 in by 11 in square.
