Question

Aiden knows the length of only one side of his garden. He says he will be able to find the area knowing only one aide. Explain how this can be true.

Answer 1

This is possible providing the garden is in the shape that has equal sides, such as a square or an equilateral triangle.

Area of a square is found by multiplying one side to the other, which would be the same as multiplying two same numbers.

Answer 2

This would only be true if his garden is a square.
