The area of carpet square is 81 square inches
Solution:
Given that carpet squares has sides that are 9 inches long
To find: area of carpet square
Since given that carpet is of square shape, we can use area of square formula
The area of square is given as:
![\text {area of square}=s^(2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/d0722gefmumuuu7ji1ocp7qf5bokwa0r0v.png)
Where "s" is the length of side
Given s = 9 inches
Substituting the values in above formula, we get
![\text {area of square}=9^(2)=9 * 9=81](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/fr7vcoc1mrexgj0senut1xnaxmxa67kr1b.png)
