Question

You deck has an area of 128 square feet. After adding a section, the are will be s by the power of 2+128 square feet. Draw a diagram of how this can happen. Please help.

Answer 1

You are adding s^2 to your 128 ft^2. s^2 is a common representation of a square. So you could think of it as adding an area of a square of side "s" to your deck.

So one way of drawing it is to draw a rectangle with area 128 ft^2 and attaching a square to one of its side. The square that is attached has a side lenght of "s."

Answer 2

Area of the deck=128 square feet

Area of the section which has been added to the deck=s²

s² =Represents a Section which is in the shape of Square.

Because area of Square =Side(s) × Side(s)

→Deck is a wooden structure, approximately in the shape of Rectangle.

Also, considering , 's' the side of square a not a large Quantity, Quite smaller with respect to area of Deck.
