Question

​7.​Mrs. Deaton’s 6th grade class is creating a mural for the school entryway. Each student is creating a square with a side length of 10 inches that will be joined together to form this mural. The mural itself will be in the shape of a square with five of the student’s squares along each side. What is the total area of the mural?

Answer 1

2,500 inches squared

10 in.•5 squares= 50in. per side
The entire mural is a square. Therefore, all sides are equal.
50 in.•50 in.=2,500in. squared

Hope this helps!
