Question

A square has a side of 6.25 feet. What is the area in square feet? Round to the correct significant digits.

Answer 1

area = 6.25^2

Answer 2

that was wrong @cwrw238

Answer 3

That answer is correct. The area of a square is the length of one of the sides squared.

In your case:

s = 2.25 ft

\[A = s ^{2} = (6.25)^{2} = 39.0625 ft ^{2}\]

Round that answer according to what the question is asking for.
