Use the following to answer the question.

Square2

Find the area of the square.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the area of a square, we use the following formula:

where l is the width and w is the width of the square.

 

If we look at the square

Square2

we can see the width is 7in.  Because it is a square, we know that all sides are equal.  Therefore, the length is also 7in.  Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get
