Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Geometry

What is the area of a square with sides 13 inches long?

Possible Answers:

$109\;in^{2}$ $\displaystyle 109\;in^{2}$

$169\;in^{2}$ $\displaystyle 169\;in^{2}$

$189\;in^{2}$ $\displaystyle 189\;in^{2}$

$52\;in^{2}$ $\displaystyle 52\;in^{2}$

$62\;in^{2}$ $\displaystyle 62\;in^{2}$

Correct answer:

$169\;in^{2}$ $\displaystyle 169\;in^{2}$

Explanation:

The area of a square can be found by multiplying the length of a side by itself:

$13 \times 13 = 169$ $\displaystyle 13 \times 13 = 169$

Example Question #2 : How To Find The Area Of A Square

What is the area of a square that has a side measuring 1 inch in length?

Possible Answers:

$4\:in^{2}$ $\displaystyle 4\:in^{2}$

$1\:in^{2}$ $\displaystyle 1\:in^{2}$

$2\:in^{2}$ $\displaystyle 2\:in^{2}$

$3\:in^{2}$ $\displaystyle 3\:in^{2}$

Correct answer:

$1\:in^{2}$ $\displaystyle 1\:in^{2}$

Explanation:

A square has four equal sides. The area of a square is found by the equation $Area=side\times side$ $\displaystyle Area=side\times side$ .

$1\: in\:\times \:1\:in=1\:in^{2}$ $\displaystyle 1\: in\:\times \:1\:in=1\:in^{2}$

$6\:in^2$ $\displaystyle 6\:in^2$

$12\:in^2$ $\displaystyle 12\:in^2$

Correct answer:

$9\:in^2$ $\displaystyle 9\:in^2$

Explanation:

A square has four equal sides. The area of a square is found by the equation $Area=side\times side$ $\displaystyle Area=side\times side$ .

$3\:in \:\times\:3\:in=9\:in^2$ $\displaystyle 3\:in \:\times\:3\:in=9\:in^2$

Example Question #2 : Plane Geometry

What is the AREA of the square in the figure? Screen_shot_2014-01-31_at_3.53.52_pm

Possible Answers:

10 cm

100 cm

1,000 cm

40 cm

20 cm

Correct answer:

100 cm

Explanation:

Because the question asks you to find the AREA of the square, you are looking to figure out how much space the square covers. You find the area of squares by multiplying the length of the square times the width. So $A = L \times W$ $\displaystyle A = L \times W$ , or $A = 10\: cm\times 10\: cm.$ $\displaystyle A = 10\: cm\times 10\: cm.$

Therefore the correct answer is 100 cm.

Example Question #3 : Plane Geometry

A square has a perimeter of $\displaystyle 36$ units. What is the area of the square?

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 36$ units squared

$\displaystyle 90$ units squared

$\displaystyle 73$ units squared

$\displaystyle 81$ units squared

$\displaystyle 64$ units squared

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 81$ units squared

Explanation:

Since a square has four sides of the same length, you can divide its perimeter by $\displaystyle 4$ to figure out the length of one of its sides: $\displaystyle 9$ units. The area of a square can be calculated by multiplying two of its sides together, so the area of this square is $\displaystyle 81$ units squared, because 9*9=81 $\displaystyle 9*9=81$ .
