Question

If s = 1 over 2 unit and A = 12s2, what is the value of A, in square units? ____ square unit(s). (Input whole number only.)

Answer 1

The value of A is 3 square units.

Explanation:

Given:
`s=\frac{1}[2}` unit and A is given by
`A=12s^2`

We have to find the value of A.

Consider the given formula
`A=12s^2`

Put
`s=\frac{1}[2}`

We get,

`A=12((1)/(2))^2`

Simplify, we have,

`A=12\cdot(1)/(4)`

Further simplify, we have,

`A=3`

Thus, The value of A is 3 square units.

Answer 2

For this case we have the following expression:

`A = 12s ^ 2`
Where, the value of s is given by:

`s = 1/2`
So, replacing values we have:

`A = 12 (1/2) ^ 2`
Rewriting we have:

`A = 12 (1/4) A = 12/4 A = 3 units ^ 2`
Answer:
the value of A, in square units is:
3 square units
