Answer 1

Complete Question:

Hassan built a fence around a square yard. It took 48 m² of lumber to build the fence. The fence is 1.5 meters tall. What is the area of the yard inside the fence?

Given:

Hassan built a fence around a square yard

It took 48 m² of lumber to build the fence.

The fence is 1.5 meters tall

To find:

The area of the yard inside the fence

Solution:

Let's assume "a" meter represents each side of the square yard.

So,

The perimeter of the square yard = The length of the fence = "4a" meter

The height of the fence is given as = 1.5 m

We know,

The area of the fence = [Perimeter of the yard] × [height of the fence]

by  substituting the values, we get

⇒ 48 = [4a] × [1.5]

⇒ 48 = 6a

⇒ a = 8 ← the length of each side of the square yard

Now,  

The area of the square yard inside the fence will be,

= side²

= 8²

= 64 m²

Thus, $\boxed{\bold{The\:area\:of\:yard\:inside\:the \:fence\:is\:\underline{64\:m^2}}}.$
