Question

amelia is building 3 square garden beds that are all the same size. she arranges them side by side to separate certain plants. amelia wants to know the total area of the beds. write an expression to represent the total area of all 3 garden beds with side lengths, 6 feet. area of 3 garden beds = 3s²

Explanation:

Step1: Find area of one square

The area of a square is side length squared. For a side length of 6 feet, the area of one square garden bed is $6^2$ square feet.

Step2: Find total area of 3 squares

Since there are 3 identical square garden beds, we multiply the area of one bed by 3. So the total area is $3\times6^2$ (or $3\cdot6^2$).

Answer:

$3\times6^2$ (or $3\cdot6^2$)
