Question

A square has a side length of p - 7. What is its area?

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of square is p² - 14p + 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of square is, A = length×breadth. The sides of a square are all the same.So you have to multiply it together :

length = p - 7

breadth = p - 7

A = (p-7)×(p-7)

= (p-7)²

= p² - 14p + 49

Answer 2

Answer:

p²-14p+49

Step-by-step explanation: To find the area of a square just multiply side x  side. So (p-7)(p-7). Use FOIL or double distributive property to get p²-7p-7p+49 then combine the two middle terms to get p²-14p+49
