Question

the area of the square patio is 1/4s2.but what is the area of the patio if the yard is 12ft on each side

Answer 1

Given that:

$A=\frac{1}{4}s^2$

Given that s = 12 ft, to find the area of the patio (A), follow the steps below.

Step 01: Substitute s by 12.

$A=\frac{1}{4}\cdot12^2$

Step 02: Take the square of 12.

$A=\frac{1}{4}\cdot144$

Step 03: Multiply 1 by 144 and then divide the result by 4.

$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{144}{4} \\ A=36ft^2 \end{gathered}$

Answer: Area = 36 ft².
