can you guys help this? thanks​

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

We are given that the side of a square is: 8√12.

And we want to find the area.

The area of a square is given by:

`A=s^2`

Where s is the side length. Remember that all side lengths in a square are equivalent.

Therefore, by substitution, we acquire:

`A=(8√(12))^2`

Evaluate. We can expand:

`A=(8)^2(√(12))^2`

Simplify:

`A=64(12)=768\text{ in}^2`

Hence, our final answer is D.
