1. What is the area of each square?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

`2.25\ in^(2)`

Explanation:

Area of a square is given by

`A=b*b=b^(2)`

Where A is area and b is the length of any side. This question has only one thing that is square in shape, the mat hence the question directly requires its area.

Given that the mat has square shape and has dimensions of 1.5 in each then the area will be

A=1.5*1.5=2.25 square inches

Therefore, the area is 2.25 square inches.
