Answer 1

\(A = s^2\), where A is area and s is side.

Answer 2

Do you know what s is in this problem?

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

what's the length of side?

Answer 5

8, correct? and with that logic if I follow that consistently with some more sound logic the answer would be C. Right?

Answer 6

huh?

well, so length of the side is 8, right.

We have formula for area of square, which is \(A = s^2\)
and we know that s = 8

So we have \(A = 8^2\)

What is \(8^2\)?

Answer 8

Do you know what " \(^2\) " is? Squared?

When you square number, you multiply number by itself.

for example: \(2^2 = 2\times2 = 4, 3^2 = 3\times3 = 9\)

is that clear?

Answer 9

So \(8^2 = 8 \times 8 = \ldots?\)

Answer 10

B. :)
