Answer 1

You need to multiply 144 by 50%. So when you have a percent, you move to spaces to the left and turn it into a decimal which will be .50. So 144 times .50. You will get the answer and add that to 144. And then you express it in feet. 144 equals 12 feet. So you divide Square B by 12 and then you'll get the answer.

Answer 2

Square b area = 144 ÷ 2

area = 72 in squared
area in feet = 6 ft squared
