The sides of a square are 5^2/5. what is the area of the square? a. 5^4/5 square inches b. 5^4/25 square inches c. 25^4/5 square inches d. 25^4/25 square inches

1. A square is a figure with four sides that have the same lenght. So, to solve this problem and calculate the area of the square, you must apply the following formula:

 A=(s)(s)
 A=s²

 "A" is the area of the square.

 "s" is the lenght of the side of the square.

 2. So, the lenght of the side given in the problem is 5^2/5 inches (s=5^2/5 inches). Therefore, you only have to substitute this value into the formula A=s².

 3. Then, you obtain:

 A=s²
 A=(5^2/5 inches)²
 A=5^4/5 inches²

 What is the area of the square?

 The answer is: A. 5^4/5 square inches.
