Jose use a square baking pan to make a cake the length of each side of the pan was 16 inches find the area of the pan in square inches
256
hi my rotor dust
A = LW
A = 16 * 16
A = _______ square inches
To find the area of the square baking pan, we need to multiply the length of one side by itself (since all sides of a square are equal). In this case, the length of each side of the pan is given as 16 inches.
To find the area, we use the formula for the area of a square:
Area = side length * side length
So, substituting the given values, we have:
Area = 16 inches * 16 inches
Now, we can simply multiply the side lengths:
Area = 256 square inches
Therefore, the area of the square baking pan is 256 square inches.
