Multiply 12 by 4

Area of one square=12 square feet
Total area of all four squares=12 square feet x 4= 48 square feet

Answer is 48 square feet

To find the dimensions of one square, we need to find the length of one side.

The formula for the area of a square is A = s^2, where 's' represents the length of a side.

Since the area of one square is given as 12 square feet, we can set up the equation 12 = s^2.

Taking the square root of both sides, we have √12 = s.

Simplifying the square root of 12, we have s ≈ √4 * √3 = 2√3.

Therefore, the dimensions of one square are 2√3 feet.
