Hassan built a fence around a square yard.

It took 500 feet of lumber to build the fence.

Therefore, measurement of each side of the square yard = 500 / 4 = 125 feet

The information that fence is 5 feet tall is redundant for calculating the area of the square yard.

Area of yard inside the fence is given by Side * Side = 125 * 125 = 15,625 sq feet

Hope this helps..!!

Thank you :)
