Yes, the table has 46 inches on each side

The table cloth adds 3 inches to each side.

49^2 = ______ square inches

Answered by Katie
49^2 is 2,401 is that the area of the tablecloth? The back of my book has the answer as 2704, did I forget to do something?
Answered by Ms. Sue
You didn't forget. I did! Sorry.

We need to add 6 inches to each side.

52^2 = 2704 square inches
