Can you explain your answer to me @magicremix123

anonymous · Answer

you are almost done

anonymous · Answer

wait...its (a) because
the area of a square is the product of two of its sides 

the 13 foot square = 13*13 = 13^2 

for three squares= 3* 13^2 

the 15 foot square = 15*15 = 15^2 

for 2 squares = 2 * 15^2

YUp ! Well done :D . Your explanation is absolutely correct . I will give you a medal . But I think those are 14 and 17 instead of 13 and 15 . Isn't it ?
