Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Find the area of the square
00:03 Size of the square's side according to the given data
00:08 We'll use the formula for calculating square area (side squared)
00:15 We'll substitute appropriate values and solve to find the area
00:22 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

The area of the square is equal to the side of the square raised to the second power.

That is:

A=L2 A=L^2

Since the drawing gives us one side of the square, and in a square all sides are equal, we will solve the area of the square as follows:

A=72=49 A=7^2=49

Answer

49 49
