Question

A farmer planted corn in a square field. One side of the field measures 32 yards. What is the area of the cornfield? Show your work

Answer 1

The area of the cornfield is 1024yards²

Work: Draw a square and label the length 32 yards since all sides of a square are equal and the formula for area is length (L) × width (W) both the length and width must be 32. Label the width as 32, multiply 32 by 32 and you get 1024yards²

Answer 2

The area would equal 1024 square feet.
