Answer:
The total area of the mural is 2,500 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The mural is in the shape of a square
The length side of the square mural is equal to the length of five student’s squares
The length side of each student's square is 10 inches
so
The length side of the square mural is 10(5)=50 inches
Remember that
The area of a square is given by the formula
[tex]A=b^2[/tex]
where
b is the length side of the square
we have
[tex]b=50\ in[/tex]
substitute
[tex]A=(50)^2=2,500\ in^2[/tex]
