The side length of a square is 55 centimeters cm. What is the area, in cm2, of the square?

","rationale_html":"

Choice C is correct. The area A\n, in square centimeters (cm2), of a square with side length s\n, in cm, is given by the formula \n\tA\n\t=\n\t\n\t\ts\n\t\t2\n\t\n\n. It’s given that the square has a side length of 55 cm. Substituting 55\n for s\n in the formula \n\tA\n\t=\n\t\n\t\ts\n\t\t2\n\t\n\n yields A=552, or \n\tA\n\t=\n\t3,025\n\n. Therefore, the area, in cm2, of the square is 3,025\n.

\n

Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

\n

Choice B is incorrect. This is the perimeter, in cm, of the square, not its area, in cm2.

\n

Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
