Question

Each side of a square is $5\frac{2}{3}$ m long. Find its area.

Answer 1

Side of the square = $5\frac{2}{3}$ m = $\frac{17}{3}$ m

Its area = (side)² = ${\left(\frac{17}{3}\mathrm{m}\right)}^2$ = $\left(\frac{17}{3}\mathrm{m}\times \frac{17}{3}\mathrm{m}\right)=\left(\frac{289}{9}\right){\mathrm{m}}^2=32\frac{1}{9}{\mathrm{m}}^2$

Hence, the area of the square is $32\frac{1}{9}{\mathrm{m}}^2$.
