Since the area formula of square is
S=a^2
\Rightarrow the area of the given square would be
S=(5(2)/(5))^2=((27)/(5))^2=(27^2)/(5^2)=(729)/(25)=29(4)/(25) \ inches^2.

Answer:

29 4/25 square inches (not given in the options)

Explanation:

A square is a plain 4 sided shape with equal sides. As such, all sides of a square are equal. If the length o a side of a square is s, the area of the square will be s² while the perimeter will be 4s.

Area of square = (5 2/5 inches)²

= (27/5 inches)²

= 729/25 square inches

= 29 4/25 square inches
