Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, Jan is painting a square canvas. The length of one side of the canvas is 4 feet.

We need to write an equation to show how to find the area of the canvas.

For a square, all its sides are equal. Let the side is x. The area of a square is given by :

$\text{Area}=\text{side}^2\\\\A=x^2\\\\A=4^2\\\\A=16$

So, the equation that shows the area of the canvas is $A=x^2$.
