Question

Casey has linked 28 one-inch paper clips together .if these were shaped into a square the area of the square region would be ? Square inches

Answer 1

The area of the square region will be 49 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of paper clips put together = 28

Size of one paper clip = one inch

Size of 28 paper clips = 1*28 = 28 inches

As we know that all sides of square are equal, therefore, 28 inches will be the perimeter of square.

Let,

s be one side of square

Perimeter = 4s

$28=4s\\4s=28$

Dividing both sides by 4

$\frac{4s}{4}=\frac{28}{4}\\s=7$

Area of square region = s²

Area of square region = $(7)^2 = 49$ square inches

The area of the square region will be 49 square inches.
