Christopher cuts a piece of paper in the shape of a square for a design that he is creating. Each side of the square paper measures 7 inches. What is the area of the paper? (1 point)
The area of the square paper is found by multiplying the length of one side by itself. In this case, each side measures 7 inches, so the area is 7 inches x 7 inches = 49 square inches.
So, the area of the paper is 49 square inches.
