Question

Recall that the grid spacing is 0.25 miles. what's the area of one square of the grid? (report your answer to 4 decimal places.) (hint: multiply 0.25 x 0.25)

Answer 1

we know that

Area of the square=b²

where b is the length side of the square

in this problem

b=0.25 miles

so

Area of the square=0.25²-------> 0.0625 miles²

therefore

the answer is

0.0625 miles²
