The side of a square is 2 7/2 inches. Using the area formula A = s2, determine the area of the square.
A=192 square inches
A=128 square inches
A=49 square inches
A=4 square inches

Respuesta :

the answer A=49 square inches

Answer:

Option B is correct

128 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square(A) is given by:

[tex]A=s^2[/tex]                           .....[1]

where,  

s is the side of the square.

As per the statement:

The side of a square is [tex]2^{\frac{7}{2}}[/tex]inches.

⇒s = [tex]2^{\frac{7}{2}}[/tex]inches.

Substitute in [1] we have;

[tex]A = (2^{\frac{7}{2}})^2 = 2^7 = 128[/tex] square inches

Therefore, the area of the square is, 128  square inches.
