Answer 2

Squares have equal sides. So all 4 sides are 6.25 feet.
How do you get the area of a square?

Answer 3

a= l x w

Answer 4

so would you just multiply 6.25 x 6.25

Answer 6

yeah. as for significant digits, you'd have to use the one with the least significant figures. As they're both 6.25, you know the answer has 3 significant digits/figures


6.25*6.25=39.0625

Answer 7

and if you were to round it would it be 39.1 @bibby

Answer 8
