What are some of the values in the table where s is the side length and A is the area?

(1,1), (2,4), (3, 9)

(1,2), (3,4), (5,6)

(1,2), (2,2)(3,6)

1 answer

It seems like you're looking for pairs of values that represent the side length \( s \) and the area \( A \) of a square. The area of a square is calculated using the formula:

\[ A = s^2 \]

Let's analyze the sets of points you provided:

  1. (1,1), (2,4), (3,9)

    • For \( s = 1 \), \( A = 1^2 = 1 \)
    • For \( s = 2 \), \( A = 2^2 = 4 \)
    • For \( s = 3 \), \( A = 3^2 = 9 \)

    All these pairs are correct.

  2. (1,2), (3,4), (5,6)

    • For \( s = 1 \), \( A = 1^2 = 1 \) (not 2)
    • For \( s = 3 \), \( A = 3^2 = 9 \) (not 4)
    • For \( s = 5 \), \( A = 5^2 = 25 \) (not 6)

    None of these pairs are correct according to the area formula for a square.

  3. (1,2), (2,2), (3,6)

    • For \( s = 1 \), \( A = 1^2 = 1 \) (not 2)
    • For \( s = 2 \), \( A = 2^2 = 4 \) (not 2)
    • For \( s = 3 \), \( A = 3^2 = 9 \) (not 6)

    Again, none of these pairs are correct according to the area formula for a square.

In conclusion, the only valid pairs according to the area of a square are from the first set: (1,1), (2,4), (3,9).
