Math Problem Statement

What is the area of the square with a side length of 5 feet?

Solution

The problem asks for the area of a square with a side length of 5 feet. The area AA of a square is given by the formula:

A=s2A = s^2

where ss is the length of one side of the square.

Given s=5s = 5 feet:

A=52=25 square feetA = 5^2 = 25 \text{ square feet}

Thus, the correct answer is 25 square feet.

Here are five related questions for practice:

  1. What is the perimeter of the square with a side length of 5 feet?
  2. How do you find the area of a rectangle if the sides are different lengths?
  3. If the side of the square was doubled, what would the new area be?
  4. What is the area of a square with a side length of 10 feet?
  5. How does the area of a square change when the side length is tripled?

Tip: Remember, the area of a square grows quadratically with the side length, meaning if the side doubles, the area quadruples!
