Answer:

The area is 256, since the yard is square, all sides are the same length. We're then given the length, being that it is equal to the side of the garage. (16) We multiply 16 by 16, and voila

just substitute to find answer

area of a square yard is 256 unit²

Explanation:

Bill has to figure out the area of his square yard.

One side of his yard is equal to the length of his garage.

The length of rectangular garage = 16 units.

so one side of his yard will be = 16 units

Since area of a square = side²

so area of a yard = 16²

= 256 unit²

Therefore, area of a square yard is 256 unit²
