________ square inches
_______

Answer 1

To calculate the area of a square, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Area} = \text{side} \times \text{side} \]

For a square with each side measuring 17 inches:

\[ \text{Area} = 17 \, \text{in} \times 17 \, \text{in} = 289 \, \text{square inches} \]

So, the area of the square is:

**289 square inches**.
