What is the area of the smallest square?
A) 16 in2
B) 25 in2
C) 36 in2
D) 49 in2

Answer:
The answer is B) 25[tex]in^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
As you can see there are two squares with dimensions
64[tex]in^{2}[/tex] and 10 in
The smallest square and the triangle have dimension not shown.
Meaning we have to figure out the dimension.
So, the formula for square area is..
[tex]A=a^{2}[/tex]
The area for the 10 in * 10 in is 100 in.
If you divide 10 by 2 you get 5.
You divide by 2 because the square is half the size of the 10 in * 10 in square. So you do 10*1/2 or 10/2 to get 5
Now instead of "10 in * 10 in is 100 in," You do "5 in * 5 in = ??? in"
Since 5*5 = 25
It would be 25 inches squared (Choice B)
Hope this helps you!
Have a wonderful night!
Happy Monday!
