Question

If s = 1 over 4 unit and A = 16s2, what is the value of A, in square units? ____ square unit(s). (Input whole number only.)

Answer 1

Answer:

A = 1 square unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• $\sf s=\dfrac14$

• $\sf A=16s^2$

To find A, substitute the value of s into the equation for A and solve:

$\sf \implies A=16 \cdot \left(\dfrac14\right)^2$

$\sf \implies A=16 \cdot \left(\dfrac{1^2}{4^2}\right)$

$\sf \implies A=16 \cdot \left(\dfrac{1}{16}\right)$

$\sf \implies A=\dfrac{16 \cdot 1}{16}$

$\sf \implies A=\dfrac{16}{16}$

$\sf \implies A=1$

Therefore, A = 1 square unit

Answer 2

$\\ \rm\rightarrowtail A=16s^2$

$\\ \rm\rightarrowtail A=16(1/4)^2$

$\\ \rm\rightarrowtail A=16(0.25)^2$

$\\ \rm\rightarrowtail A=16(0.0625)$

$\\ \rm\rightarrowtail A=1units^2$
