<p>The area of a square = a²</p>
44
<p>The side of the square = 1.6 meters</p>
43
<p>The side of the square = 1.6 meters</p>
45
<p>So, the area = 1.6² = 1.6 × 1.6 = 2.56 m²</p>

<p>A square garden has a side length of 1.6 meters. If the cost to plant flowers is $5 per square meter, what is the total cost to plant the garden?</p>
51
<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
50
<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
52
<p>The side of the garden = 1.6 meters</p>
51
<p>The side of the garden = 1.6 meters</p>
53
<p>The cost to plant per square meter = $5</p>
52
<p>The cost to plant per square meter = $5</p>
54
<p>To find the total cost to plant, we find the area of the garden,</p>
53
<p>To find the total cost to plant, we find the area of the garden,</p>
55
<p>Area of the garden = area of the square = a²</p>
54
<p>Area of the garden = area of the square = a²</p>
56
<p>Here a = 1.6</p>
55
<p>Here a = 1.6</p>
57
<p>Therefore, the area of the garden = 1.6² = 1.6 × 1.6 = 2.56 m²</p>
56
<p>Therefore, the area of the garden = 1.6² = 1.6 × 1.6 = 2.56 m²</p>
58
<p>The cost to plant the garden = 2.56 × 5 = $12.80</p>
57
<p>The cost to plant the garden = 2.56 × 5 = $12.80</p>
59
<p>The total cost = $12.80</p>
58
<p>The total cost = $12.80</p>

<h3>Explanation</h3>
61
<p>To find the cost to plant the garden, we multiply the area of the garden by the cost to plant per square meter. So, the total cost is $12.80.</p>
