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)
To find the area of a square, we need to square the length of one side. In this case, one side of the square paper measures 7 inches.
So, the area of the paper is 7 inches * 7 inches = <<7*7=49>>49 square inches.
Therefore, the area of the paper is 49 square inches.
