minus-squareLiz@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 months agoOne hundred square feet is ten feet by ten feet on a side. Now, change each side to ten yards by ten yards. That means each side is thirty feet long. Thirty feet times thirty feet is nine hundred square feet.
minus-squareBfcht@lemmy.wtflinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoThe area is squared, so 12-(1/3)2 which is .888 or about 88.8%
