Answer
Correct Answer: 196
Explanation
Introduction / Context:For a square with side s, perimeter is 4s and area is s^2. The options provide single values; the distinctive correct numeric result here is the area (since 14^2 is a perfect square in the list).
Given Data / Assumptions:
- s = 14 ft.
Concept / Approach:Compute both quantities: Perimeter = 4*14 = 56; Area = 14^2 = 196. From the options, 196 appears (area), while 56 does not.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Perimeter = 56 ftArea = 196 sq ftWhy Other Options Are Wrong:176, 186, 206 are not equal to either 56 or 196.
Final Answer:196 (area in sq ft; perimeter is 56 ft).
