Question

Priscilla is making gift boxes for her cookies. The total area of the box's base must be square foot. If the length of one side of the box is 4 foot, how long is the width of the box?

Answer 1

Area = 16 ft^2

Width = 4ft

Explanation:

Square means all sides are the same length. (Definition of square)

If the length is 4 feet, then the width is 4 ft as well.

Width = 4 ft

Length x width = area

4ft x 4ft = 16 ft^2 (area)
