Question

A square sign has a height and width of 2 1/2 feet. Will the area of the sign be greater or less that 2 1/2 square

Answer 1

Greater

Explanation:

Area of the square sign = L²

L is the side length of the square

Given

L = 2 1/2 feet

Area of the sign = 2 1/2 * 2 1/2

Area of the sign = 5/2 * 5/2

Area of the sign = 25/4

Area of the sign = 8 1/4 square feet

This shows that the area of the sign will be greater than 2 1/2 square feet
