Answer:

A = 7 1/9 m^2

Explanation:

The area of a square is the side length squared.

A = s^2

A = (2 2/3) ^2

Change the mixed number to an improper fraction

2 2/3 = (3*2+2) /3 = 8/3

A = (8/3) ^2

= 64/9

Change this back to a mixed number

9 goes into 64 seven times (9*7 = 63 with 1 left over)

7 1/9 m^2

The area is 7 1/9
