Example Question #703 : Plane Geometry

In square units, find the area of a square with side lengths  units.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Use the following formula to find the area of a square:

For the given square,

When multiplying decimals together first move the decimal over so that the number is a whole integer.

Now we multiple the integers together.

From here, we need to move the decimal place back. In this particular problem we moved the decimal over one time for each number for a total of two decimal places.

Therefore our answer becomes,
