Given the word problem, we can deduce the following information:

Side length = 3/4 units

To determine the area of the square, we use the formula:


A=a^2

where:

a=side length

A=Area

We plug in what we know:


\begin{gathered} A=a^(2) \\ A=((3)/(4))^2 \\ Calculate \\ A=(9)/(16)\text{ square units} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is 9/16 square units.
