Question

There are two squares.ONe has a side length of 12 inches and the other has a side length of 14 inches.What is he total area of both squares?

Answer 1

340 in^2

Explanation:

1. First square

A = l*w = 12^2 OR 12*12 = 144

2. Second square

A = l*w = 14^2 OR 14*14 = 196

3. Combined Area

144+196=340

Answer 2

The area of a square is found by squaring the side length, which is the same as multiplying two of the sides together.

Square 1: 12 x 12 = 144 square inches.

Square 2: 14 x 14 = 196 square inches.

Total area = 144 + 196 = 340 square inches.
