Question

Area of B patios a.74.42. B.37.21. C.144

Answer 1

○=> Correct option :

`\color{hotpink}\tt\bold{(a)\ \: 74.42}`

○=> Steps to derive correct option :

Length of side of patio A = 12 yards

Area of patio A which is a square :

`=\tt side * side`

`=\tt 12 * 12`

`\color{plum} = \tt144 \: {yards}^(2)`

Thus, Area of patio A = 144 yards²

Length of side of patio B = 6.1 yards

Area of patio B which is a square :

`=\tt side * side`

`= \tt6.1 * 6.1`

`\color{plum} = \tt37.21 \: {yards}^(2)`

Length of side of the second patio B = 6.1 yards

Area of this patio :

`=\tt 6.1 * 6.1`

`\color{plum} = \tt37.21 \: yards`

Total area of Patio B :

= Area of first patio B + Area of second patio B

`=\tt 37.21 + 37.21`

`\color{plum} = \tt74.42 \: {yards}^(2)`

Thus :

▪︎Area of patio A = 144 yards²

▪︎Area of patio B = 74.42 yards²

▪︎Therefore, the correct option is (a) 74.42
