Since the area formula of square is [tex]S=a^2[/tex] [tex]\Rightarrow[/tex] the area of the given square would be [tex]S=(5\frac{2}{5})^2=(\frac{27}{5})^2=\frac{27^2}{5^2}=\frac{729}{25}=29\frac{4}{25} \ inches^2[/tex].

Answer:

29 4/25 square inches (not given in the options)

Step-by-step explanation:

A square is a plain 4 sided shape with equal sides. As such, all sides of a square are equal. If the length o a side of a square is s, the area of the square will be s² while the perimeter will be 4s.

Area of square = (5 2/5 inches)²

= (27/5 inches)²

= 729/25 square inches

= 29 4/25 square inches
