Answer: 29.94 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation: To find the area of a square, we multiply the length of one side by itself. In this case, the given dimensions are 4.9150 cm and 6.0 cm. However, the problem states that the resulting area is 29.49 cm³, which implies that it is reported in cubic centimeters instead of square centimeters.

To convert cubic centimeters to square centimeters, we take the square root of the given value.

√29.49 cm³ ≈ 5.44 cm

Therefore, the proper way to report the area of the square is 29.94 cm², rounded to two decimal places.
