Question

Find the area of a square if its sides measure 2 2/3m

Answer 1

`7(1)/(9)\ m^2`

Explanation:

If the length of the square side is a units, then the area of the square is

`A=a^2\ un^2.`

In your case, the side length is

`a=2(2)/(3)\ m,`

then the area is

`A=2(2)/(3)\cdot 2(2)/(3)\\ \\ \\A=(2\cdot 3+2)/(3)\cdot (2\cdot 3+2)/(3)\\ \\ \\A=(8)/(3)\cdot (8)/(3)\\ \\ \\A=(64)/(9)\\ \\ \\A=7(1)/(9)\ m^2`
