To find the area of a square, do base times height.
If it is a square then all the sides are equal. Take 12 and divide it by 4 to find out that each side is 4 feet.
Base-4
Height-4
(4)(4)=16
so basically what you would have to do is set up your numbers. it would look something like this. 68
× 49
-------------
and would then multiply 9 by 8, 9 by 6. put it down below the line while making sure to carry the numbers if need be. then do the same with the 4 times 8, and 4 by 6.
B² = 8b + 84
b² - 8b - 84 = 0
b = <u>-(-8) +/- √((8)² - 4(1)(-84))</u>
2(1)<u>
</u>b = <u>8 +/- √(64 + 336)</u>
2
b = <u>8 +/- √(400)
</u> 2<u>
</u>b = <u>8 +/- 20
</u> 2
b = 4 <u>+</u> 10
b = 4 + 10 b = 4 - 10
b = 14 b = -6

The answer is 615.4
Hope this helps :)
80,400 or eighty thousand four hundred
