Question

A square field has a perimeter of 360m. what is the area?
Ms. Sue
360/4 = 90 m on each side.

90 * 90 = ??
KIERA
is this side bar?
KIERA
how do you write out sidebar the long way?
Ms. Sue
I don't understand what you mean by "sidebar." Please explain.
KIERA
side bar is a type of dividion. like 4 x(a)=360 something like that
Anya
Since the field is square, it has 4 equal sides. If you divide 360 by 4 it equals 90. To figure out the area, you need to multiply base and height. So, 90 times 90 would be your answer.
Anya
Oh, and don't forget the units!
KIERA
ok thanks
Anya
You're welcome! :)
Anya
Ms. Sue also helped.

The field is square so we will do - 360 divide by 4 the answer is 90 and then as the formula of area is side inti side so 90 into 90 the answer will be the area

Oh, that makes sense
