Question

the area of the square patio is 1/4s2.but what is the area of the patio if the yard is 12ft on each side

Answer 1

Given that:

`A=(1)/(4)s^2`

Given that s = 12 ft, to find the area of the patio (A), follow the steps below.

Step 01: Substitute s by 12.

`A=(1)/(4)\cdot12^2`

Step 02: Take the square of 12.

`A=(1)/(4)\cdot144`

Step 03: Multiply 1 by 144 and then divide the result by 4.

`\begin{gathered} A=(144)/(4) \\ A=36ft^2 \end{gathered}`

Answer: Area = 36 ft².
