You are designing a wall mural that will be composed of squares of different sizes. One of the requirements of your design is that the side length of each square is itself a perfect square.

1. If you represent the side length of a square as x^2, write an expression for the area of a mural square.
2. Find the area of a mural square when x=5
3. Find the area of a mural square when x=10

Can you explain what 1 would be?

1. Area of a square = (x^2)^2 = x^4

(each side is x^2, area of a square = side^2
so (x^2)(x^2) = x^4 )

2. when x = 5
area = 5^4 = 625
3. when x = 10
area = 10^4 = 10000

Thank you it helped :D

The function rule A = s2 is a model for the area, A, of a square with side of length s. Which of the following represents another way to write this function rule

What is the area of a mural design in square meters?

Certainly!

To find the expression for the area of a mural square, we need to use the given representation that the side length of each square is a perfect square, and we represent it as x^2.

1. The expression for the area of a square is obtained by multiplying the length of one side by itself. So, the area of a mural square can be expressed as (x^2) * (x^2), which simplifies to x^4.

So, the expression for the area of a mural square is x^4.

I hope that clears up your question about what 1 would be. Let me know if you have any other questions!
