Question

the ortiz family is building a barn on a property with a perimeter of 120 meters. what is the area of the property that Mr. Ortiz is building the barn on?

Answer 1

900 square meters

Explanation:

The property is in the shape of a square.

The perimeter of a square is given as:

P = 4L

where L = length of its side

Therefore, the length of the property is:

120 = 4 * L

L = 120 / 4 = 30 meters

The area of a square is given as:

A = L * L

Therefore, the area of the property is:

A = 30 * 30 = 900 square meters
