Joanne made 16 fruit bars in a square pan. The fruit bars are 2 inches by 2 inches. What are the dimensions of the pan she used to bake the fruit bars?

If Jonas made 16 fruit bars and their area is 2*2 each then 1 fruit bar’s area is 4 sq inches.

We then multiply 16*4 to get the area of the pan that she was using:

16*4=64

The dimensions of the pan have to be equal because the fruit bars’ dimensions are equal as well. So the sq root of 64 is 8.

So, the pan’s dimensions are 8*8. 8 inches for the height and 8 inches for the width.

I hope this helps!
