Rectangles, squares, and parallelograms share the exact same formula for the area.
All we do is sub in the correct values for the variables and solve.
A=bh
Because it is a square, every side is the same length, so we can just square the value.
=(17/2m)^2
Because we are finding the area, we must square the units as well.
=289/4 m^2
=72.25 m^2
Therefore, the area of the square is
