George wants to build a square fence using 80 meters of wire. What is the area of the fence if you use all of the wire equally among each side?

If George is enclosing a square area with 80 meters of wire --

80/4 = 20 on each side

20 * 20 = 400 square meters in area.

Recall that the perimeter of a square is equal to

P = 4*s
where s = length of one side
Therefore,
80 = 4*s
s = 80/4
s = 20 meters
We need to find the area. Recall that the area of a square is just
A = s^2
Substituting,
A = 20^2
A = 400 m^2

Hope this helps~ :3

Thank you.

To find the area of George's square fence, we need to determine the length of each side of the square.

Since George wants to use all of the 80 meters of wire equally among each side, we can divide the total length of wire by 4 (4 sides of the square) to get the length of one side.

Length of one side = Total length of wire / Number of sides
= 80 meters / 4
= 20 meters

Now that we know the length of one side is 20 meters, we can find the area of the square.

Area of a square = Side length * Side length
= 20 meters * 20 meters
= 400 square meters

Therefore, the area of the square fence that George wants to build with 80 meters of wire is 400 square meters.
