Question

If the side length is 1/5 cm then the area is blank cm squared

Answer 1

See explanation

Explanation:

Assuming you are talking about a square of side length

`(1)/(5) cm`

Then we can find the area of the square using

`A= {s}^(2)`

where s is the side length of the square.

We substitute the value to get:

`A= {( (1)/(5)) }^(2)`

Write exponent as multiplication

`A= {( (1)/(5)) } * (1)/(5)`

Multiply to get:

`A= { (1)/(25) } {cm}^(2)`

Therefore the area is 1/25 cm²
