Question

A square measures 8 inches on each side. What is its area rounded off to the nearest square centimeter? (Note: 1 inch ≈ 2.54 cm) a) 413 sq cm b) 512 in.² c) 64 cm² d) 32 in.²

Answer 1

41 sq cm is the answer

Explanation:

Answer 2

C.) 413 cm^2

Explanation:

To figure out the area of a square, much like a rectangle we multiply length × width. In this case because the length and width are the same (definition of a square) then it's simply
`s^2` and 8 inches is 20.32 cm (8x2.54):

`s^2=20.32^2=412.90 \approx 413`

a.) 413 cm^2
