Answer 1

Area of a square:

A=s^2

You are given the area so:

160=s^2

solve for s

So I agree with your answer.

Answer 2

It's 80 cause 80 x 2 =160

Answer 3

kitty but there is 4 sides so no not 80

Answer 4

It is 40 because there are 4 sides with 160 square feet in the model and what does 40 x 4 equal? 160
