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.
