Answer 1

Hello @cassidi5286 Welcome to openstudy :)

Answer 2

A square's area is just its side squared, so if we have a side of 6.25 feet, we just need to square that to get the area and then round. Since we're multiplying, we round number of sig figs and not decimal place, so we should have three sig figs in the final answer. So the answer should be 39.1 square feet. Does that make sense?
