Question

a square piece of land take 24ft. of fence to surround it how much square ft is the area of the 24 ft land..

Answer 1

The Solution:

Given:

The perimeter of the square piece of land is 24 ft.

We are required to find the area of the given piece of land.

Step 1:

By formula,

`\begin{gathered} P=4l \\ where \\ P=perimeter=24ft \\ l=length=? \end{gathered}`

So,

`\begin{gathered} 4l=24 \\ \\ l=(24)/(4)=6ft \end{gathered}`

Step 2:

Find the area of the piece of land.

`\begin{gathered} A=l^2 \\ where \\ A=area=? \\ l=6\text{ ft} \end{gathered}`
`A=6^2=36ft^2`

Therefore, the correct answer is 36 square feet.
