Answer:
[tex]\frac{2401}{16}[/tex] square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The quilt made by Spencer had a 7×7 array of different color square patches such that each patch is [tex]1\frac{3}{4}[/tex] in long.
To find: the area of the whole quilt
Solution:
Side of each quilt = [tex]7(\frac{3}{4})=7(\frac{7}{4})=\frac{49}{4}[/tex]
Quilt is in the form of a square such that area of square is given by [tex](side)^2[/tex]
Therefore, area of quilt = [tex](side)^2=(\frac{49}{4})^2 =\frac{2401}{16}[/tex] square inches
