Area of Square: Calculate Using Expression 4X+4Y

Question

Look at the following square:

Which expression represents its area?

00:03 Let's start by expressing the area of the square.

00:07 We'll find the side length based on the given data.

00:11 Remember, the formula for the area of a square is the side length squared.

00:20 Now, plug in the values we have, and solve for the area.

00:35 Great job! That's how we find the solution.

The area of a square is equal to the measurement of one of its sides squared.

The formula for the area of a square is:

$S=a^2$

Hence let's insert the given data into the formula as follows:

$S=(4x+4y)^2$

$(4y+4x)^2$
