Answer 1

To find the area of a square using the formula \( A = s^2 \), where \( s \) is the side length, you simply square the side length.

Given that the side length \( s = \frac{8}{15} \) mm, we can calculate the area as follows:

\[
A = \left(\frac{8}{15}\right)^2 = \frac{8^2}{15^2} = \frac{64}{225}
\]

Thus, the area of the square with a side length of \( \frac{8}{15} \) mm is

\[
\frac{64}{225} \, \text{mm}^2
\]

So, the correct response is:

**Start Fraction 64 over 225 End Fraction mm squared**
