Hello!
We have been given enough information to answer this question!
We know that a square has four sides, and each of its sides are of equal length. We also know that the sides measure 2 feet long.
The rectangular painting is made up of two congruent squares. Congruent means they are the same.
The formula for the area of a square is:
A = a (squared)
Substitute:
A = 2 × 2 = 4
So, the area of one square is 4 ft. That means the area of both of the squares combined would be 8 ft.
So, the area of the entire painting is 8 feet squared. (Write a small two just above feet to indicate that it is squared).
The answer is in the photo attached below.
