Answer:


225\text{ in}^2

Explanation:

We have been given that the bases on a softball field are square. We are asked to find the area of base.

We know that area of a square is square of its side length.


\text{Area of square}=a^2, where 'a' represents side length of square.

Upon substitute
a=\text{15 in}, we will get:


\text{Area of base}=(\text{15 in})^2


\text{Area of base}=225\text{ in}^2

Therefore, the area of base is is 225 square inches.
