Question

What is the area of the smallest square?

A) 16 in2
B) 25 in2
C) 36 in2
D) 49 in2

Answer 1

the answer is b, 25 in2. For the are of the smallest square

Answer 2

The answer is B) 25
`in^(2)`

Explanation:

As you can see there are two squares with dimensions

64
`in^(2)` and 10 in

The smallest square and the triangle have dimension not shown.

Meaning we have to figure out the dimension.

So, the formula for square area is..

`A=a^(2)`

The area for the 10 in * 10 in is 100 in.

If you divide 10 by 2 you get 5.

You divide by 2 because the square is half the size of the 10 in * 10 in square. So you do 10*1/2 or 10/2 to get 5

Now instead of "10 in * 10 in is 100 in," You do "5 in * 5 in = ??? in"

Since 5*5 = 25

It would be 25 inches squared (Choice B)

Hope this helps you!

Have a wonderful night!
