Question

A square plastic tarp has sides that are 7 meters long. What is the tarps area?

Answer 1

49 square meters

Explanation:

• The formula for finding the area of a surface is
  `area=length*breadth`
• Since the tarp is square, all of its sides have the same length
• So the length equals the breadth
• That means the area is
  `area=(7meters)*(7meters)=49meters^(2)`
