the sides of a square are 5^2/5 inches long.

Side of the square is given in exponential form

Side of the square =
$5^{(2)/(5)}$

Area of the square = side * side

We multiply the side twice to get the area

Area of the square =
$5^{(2)/(5)}* 5^{(2)/(5)}$

When the exponents have same base and they are in multiplication then we add the exponents

$5^{(2)/(5)}* 5^{(2)/(5)}$ =
$5^{(2)/(5)+(2)/(5)}$

=
$5^{(4)/(5)}$

Area of the square =
$5^{(4)/(5)}$
