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)
___ Square inches
The area of the paper is found by multiplying the length of one side by itself. In this case, the length of one side is 7 inches.
So, the area of the paper is equal to 7 inches multiplied by 7 inches, which is 7 x 7 = 49 square inches.
Therefore, the area of the paper is 49 square inches.
