Question

Larry decides to walk around the block of his neighborhood one afternoon. The neighborhood is in the shape of a square and each street is 2 miles long. What is the area of the neighborhood?

Answer 1

4miles²

Explanation:

Area of a square = Length * Length

If the neighborhood is in the shape of a square and each street is 2 miles long, then the length of the square is 2 miles.

Area of the neighborhood can simply be calculated using the area for finding the area of a square.

Area of the neighborhood = 2miles * 2miles

Area of the neighborhood = 4miles²
