The larger square has a side length of 8 inches and a larger area compared to the smaller square.

The larger square has a side length of 8 inches.

To compare the areas, we can use the formula for the area of a square: A = side length x side length.

The area of the larger square: A = 8 inches x 8 inches = 64 square inches.

The area of the smaller square: A = 2 inches x 2 inches = 4 square inches.

Therefore, the larger square has a larger area compared to the smaller square.
