Answer :

Therefore, the correct answer is 144 in²

Explanation:

To find out how many square inches are in 1 square foot, we need to understand the conversion between feet and inches.

Given that 12 inches is equal to 1 foot, we can use this conversion to determine the number of square inches in 1 square foot.

To find the area of a square, we multiply the length of one side by itself. In the case of a square foot, each side is 12 inches long.

So, the area of 1 square foot is 12 inches multiplied by 12 inches, which equals 144 square inches.
