The area of carpet square is 81 square inches
Given that carpet squares has sides that are 9 inches long
To find: area of carpet square
Since given that carpet is of square shape, we can use area of square formula
The area of square is given as:
[tex]\text {area of square}=s^{2}[/tex]
Where "s" is the length of side
Given s = 9 inches
Substituting the values in above formula, we get
[tex]\text {area of square}=9^{2}=9 \times 9=81[/tex]
Thus the area of carpet square is 81 square inches
