Question
Each side of a square is $5\frac{2}{3}\text{m}$ long. Find its area.
✓
Answer
Side of the square $=5\frac{2}{3} =\frac{17}{3}\text{m}$
Its area $=(\text{side})^2=\Big(\frac{17}{3}\text{m}\Big)$
$=\Big(\frac{17}{3}\text{m}\times\frac{17}{3}\text{m}\Big)$
$=\Big(\frac{289}{9}\Big)\text{m}^2=35\frac{1}{9}\text{m}^2$
Hence, the area of the square is $32\frac{1}{9}\text{m}^2$
Its area $=(\text{side})^2=\Big(\frac{17}{3}\text{m}\Big)$
$=\Big(\frac{17}{3}\text{m}\times\frac{17}{3}\text{m}\Big)$
$=\Big(\frac{289}{9}\Big)\text{m}^2=35\frac{1}{9}\text{m}^2$
Hence, the area of the square is $32\frac{1}{9}\text{m}^2$
