Christopher cut 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

To find the area of a square, you need to multiply the length of one side by itself. Since each side of the square paper measures 7 inches, the area would be 7 inches multiplied by 7 inches.

Area = 7 inches * 7 inches = 49 square inches

Therefore, the area of the paper is 49 square inches.
