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?

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
