Area of B patios a.74.42. B.37.21. C.144

Length of side of patio A = 12 yards
Area of patio A which is a square :
[tex] =\tt side \times side[/tex]
[tex] =\tt 12 \times 12[/tex]
[tex]\color{plum} = \tt144 \: {yards}^{2} [/tex]
Thus, Area of patio A = 144 yards²
Length of side of patio B = 6.1 yards
Area of patio B which is a square :
[tex] =\tt side \times side[/tex]
[tex] = \tt6.1 \times 6.1[/tex]
[tex]\color{plum} = \tt37.21 \: {yards}^{2} [/tex]
Length of side of the second patio B = 6.1 yards
Area of this patio :
[tex] =\tt 6.1 \times 6.1[/tex]
[tex]\color{plum} = \tt37.21 \: yards[/tex]
Total area of Patio B :
= Area of first patio B + Area of second patio B
[tex] =\tt 37.21 + 37.21[/tex]
[tex]\color{plum} = \tt74.42 \: {yards}^{2} [/tex]
Thus :
▪︎Area of patio A = 144 yards²
▪︎Area of patio B = 74.42 yards²
▪︎Therefore, the correct option is (a) 74.42
