Question

If s = 1 over 4 unit and A = 16s2, what is the value of A, in square units? ____ square unit(s). (Input whole number only.)

Answer 1

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail A=16s^2`

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail A=16(1/4)^2`

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail A=16(0.25)^2`

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail A=16(0.0625)`

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail A=1units^2`

Answer 2

A = 1 square unit

Explanation:

Given:

• 
  `\sf s=\frac14`

• 
  `\sf A=16s^2`

To find A, substitute the value of s into the equation for A and solve:

`\sf \implies A=16 \cdot \left(\frac14\right)^2`

`\sf \implies A=16 \cdot \left((1^2)/(4^2)\right)`

`\sf \implies A=16 \cdot \left((1)/(16)\right)`

`\sf \implies A=(16 \cdot 1)/(16)`

`\sf \implies A=(16)/(16)`

`\sf \implies A=1`

Therefore, A = 1 square unit
