Question

Find the AREA of a square with sides 6 yards long.ANS. Area= ______ y r squared

Answer 1

Define a square

A sqaure a plane figure that is closed, two dimensional shape with four equal straight sides and four right angles. It is a quadrilateral

Write out the formula for finding the area of a square

`\begin{gathered} A\text{ square with side l has area} \\ A_{\text{square}}=l^2 \end{gathered}`

Find the area of the square with side 6 yards

`\begin{gathered} \text{given} \\ l=6\text{yards} \\ A_{\text{square}}=6^2 \\ A_{\text{square}}=36\text{yard squared} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the area of the square with side 6 yards is 36 yards squared
