MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

  1. The area of a square can be found by squaring the side length. A square has a side length of 8 ft. What equation represents the area of the square?


  1. A = 82 = 16

  1. A = 8 × 4 = 32

  1. A = 82 = 64

  1. A = 8 × 2 = 16

Answer explanation

The formula for finding the area of a square is given by A = side² = side length × side length. In this case, the side length is 8 ft. So, the correct equation is A = 8² = 8 × 8 = 64.
