Question

A floor for a 4-meter square shed must be fabricated. The area of the floor is _____.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. $16 m^{2}$

Explanation:

In a flat squared surface such as the one of a shed, the area is calculated by multiplying two sides. In this case, the side is 4 meters long, and therefore the formula to calculate the area is  A (area) = side x side

A = 4 meters x 4 meters

A=  (4 x 4) (m x m)

A= 16 $m^{2}$

This means the correct answer is B because this shows the correct number of meters in the area (16) and using square meters or $m^{2}$ is the correct unit to express the area or measurement of a surface.
