What is the area of a square that measures 3.1m on each side?
A. 12.4m2
B. 9.61m2
C. 6.2m2
D. 9.1m2
Here we are required to find the area of the square of sides 3.1 m. The square is a four-sided figure with each side equal and opposite sides making 90 degrees.
Area of the square =side*side
Side=3.1 m
Area of the square=3.1 m *3.1 m=9.61 m2
Note: 3.1 + 3.1 = 6.2 which is a wrong answer.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.

Q #2: 7x - 6= 3x - 26 Solve the equation above for x. Which of the following is the value for x?
A. -5
B. 6
C. 5
D. -8
Answer Explanation
Here we collect like terms together and solve for the unknown value of x.
7x-6=3x-26
Add 6 to both sides of the equation
7x-6+6=3x-26+6
7x=3x-20
Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation
7x-3x=-20
4x=-20
Divide both sides by 4
4x/-4=-20/4
x = -5
The value of x = -5

Q #3: A garden in the shape of a square has an area of 13 square feet. Each side of the garden has a length of √13 feet. Which of the following is the best decimal approximation for the length of each side?
A. 4.5 feet
B. 6.5 feet
C. 3.6 feet
D. 2.6 feet
Answer Explanation
In this problem, to find one side of the square garden, we use the calculator to find the square root of 13. Thus
Thus, the approximate side of a square garden is about 3.6 ft
