Answer 2

So for an area of the square we just multiply Base*Height.
We count how many little squares make up the right side and that's 8.
We do 3.5*8=28, this is our right side. Since it's a square, we can assume now all sides are 28 inches. Now all we do is 28*28 and that gives us 784 inches squared.

Answer 3

We multiplied those 2 together. If you add up all the 3.5 inches little blocks that gives you 8 of them and 3.5 times 8 = 28 inches.
