Question

Which choice best satisfies the formula for the area of a square whose sides are s inches long?

a.area = s2 sq. in

b.area = s sq. in

c.area = x sq. in

d.area = s + s sq. in?

Answer 1

The area of the square whose sides is s inches long will be given by:
Area=length×width
Length=s inches
width=s inches
thus:
the area of the squares will be:
Area=s×s=s² sq. inches

Thus the correct answer is:
area=s² sq. in
