Question

Which of the following expressions can be used to find the area of a square with a side length of fraction 1 over 6 m?

fraction 1 over 6 multiplied by 2 m2 2 multiplied by fraction 1 over 6 m2 fraction 1 over 6 whole squared m2 fraction 1 over 6 whole cubed m2

Answer 1

It would be fraction 1 over 6 multiplied by 2m^2 because number two is backwards, number three is wrong because we are not talking about multiplying a hole square, and number four is talking about a cube and we are talking about a square.

Answer 2

1 over 6 whole squared m2

Explanation:

The given side of the square is =
`(1)/(6)` m

We have to find the area of the square. The area of any square is given as :

`side * side` or
`(side)^(2)`

Here, if the side is given as
`(1)/(6)`

So, area will be =
`((1)/(6))^(2)` meter square.

Therefore, the correct option is : 1 over 6 whole squared m2
