Answer 1

The answer is below

Explanation:

A) Given that the area of the square a square foot = 1 ft², the width = 1 foot

Area = length × width

1 ft² = length × 1 ft

Length = 1 ft²/ 1 ft = 1 ft

B) Given that length of wrapping paper = 1 yd, width = 1 yd.

The area of the paper = length × width = 1 yd × 1 yd = 1 yd²

C) Given that the area of the wetland is a square mile = 1 mile², the length = 1 mile

Area = length × width

1 mile² = 1 mile × width

width = 1 mile²/ 1 mile = 1 mile

D) Given that the area of the square a square meter = 1 m², the length = 1 meter

Area = length × width

1 m² = 1 m × width

width = 1 m²/ 1 m = 1 m
