OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry computer problems! 6.3x2.5=15.75

OpenStudy (gorv):

well done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But then, it has to be converted to square inches @gorv. It is not square feet to square inches, it is feet to square inches.. this is the part I do not understand.

OpenStudy (gorv):

1 feet = 12 inch

OpenStudy (gorv):

ft^2=ft*ft

OpenStudy (gorv):

1ft= 12 inch

OpenStudy (gorv):

@MMV04 got me ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think so. 189 is the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me with some more @gorv ?

OpenStudy (gorv):

12*12=144 144*

OpenStudy (gorv):

15.75*144
