Given:
1 foot = 12 inches
So, 288 square inches are:
[tex]288\text{ in}^2=288\text{ in}^2\times(\frac{1\text{ ft}}{12\text{ in}})^2[/tex]Solve:
[tex]288\text{ in}^2\times\frac{1^2\text{ ft}^2}{12^2\text{ in}^2}=288\text{ in}^2\times\frac{1\text{ ft}^2}{144\text{ in}^2}[/tex]Simplify:
[tex]2\text{ ft}^2[/tex]Answer: 2 square feet
