Question

which expression represents the area of
the garden?
6·6 \t 6·2
6+6+6+6 \t 6+2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Area of Square

A garden (assuming square, as area of square is side×side). If side is 6, area is \( 6 \times 6 \).

Step2: Analyze Options

• \( 6 \times 2 \): For rectangle with sides 6,2 (not square).
• \( 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 \): Perimeter (sum of sides), not area.
• \( 6 + 2 \): Sum of two lengths, not area.
• \( 6 \times 6 \): Matches area of square with side 6.

Answer:

\( 6 \times 6 \) (the first option)
