Question

a square has the side measurment of s = 2 3 over 2 using the formula 1= s^2 find the area of the square

Answer 1

check the picture below.


`\bf A=s^2\qquad s=2(3)/(2)\qquad A=\left( 2(3)/(2) \right)^2\implies A=\left( (2\cdot 2+3)/(2) \right)^2 \\\\\\ A=\left( (7)/(2) \right)^2\implies A=\cfrac{7^2}{2^2}\implies A=\cfrac{49}{4}\implies A=12(1)/(4)`
