Question

Spencer made a quilt for his cousin's doll. The quilt had a 7x7 array of different color square patches. If each patch is 1 3/4 in long, what is the area of the whole quilt?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{2401}{16}$ square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The quilt made by Spencer had a 7×7 array of different color square patches such that each patch is $1\frac{3}{4}$ in long.

To find: the area of the whole quilt

Solution:

Side of each quilt = $7(\frac{3}{4})=7(\frac{7}{4})=\frac{49}{4}$

Quilt is in the form of a square such that area of square is given by $(side)^2$

Therefore, area of quilt = $(side)^2=(\frac{49}{4})^2 =\frac{2401}{16}$  square inches
