can you just pls explain thnx

Answer 21

Yeah, a square has 4 equal sides

Answer 22

so each side is 6.25

Answer 23

And Area = L*W

Answer 24

All you need to do is plug in S which is 6.25ft

So, a = s^2 would turn into a =6.25^2
Then all you do is just punch that into your calculator and whatever you get is your answer.
Then that's just a = s

Answer 25

literally almost word for word what i said^

Answer 26

So you do 6.25 * 6.25

Answer 27

And BAM! You get 39.0625
