Math Problem Statement

What is the area of this square?

Solution

The image asks for the area of a square with a side length of 17 feet.

The area AA of a square is calculated using the formula:

A=side2A = \text{side}^2

Since the side length of the square is 17 feet, we calculate:

A=172=289 square feetA = 17^2 = 289 \text{ square feet}

Thus, the area of the square is 289 square feet.
