Question

find the area of a square plot of land whose each side measures 17/2 meters

Answer 1

Area of square = side × side
= (17/2) × (17/2)
= 289/4
= 72.25 metre square.

Answer 2

Answer:

Area of a square plot is 72.25 $m^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that each side of square = $\frac{17}{2} \ m$

Now, we need to find area of a plot of land which is in square shape.

The standard formula for calculating the area which is in the shape of a square is $side^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \text{Area of the square} = \text{side}^{2}$

Now, substituting the value of side in the above formula

$=\left(\frac{17}{2}\right)^{2} m^{2}$

On solving the above values, we get

$=\frac{289}{4} \ m^{2}$

By dividing 289 by 4, we get 72.25 $m^{2}$  

Therefore, area of a square plot =72.25 $m^{2}$
