To find the area of a square scarf, you use the formula for the area of a square, which is:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{side length}^2
\]
In this case, the side length of the scarf is \( \frac{3}{4} \) yard. Therefore, we compute the area as follows:
\[
\text{Area} = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2
\]
Calculating this, we have:
\[
\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{3^2}{4^2} = \frac{9}{16}
\]
Thus, the area of the scarf is:
\[
\frac{9}{16} \, \text{yd}^2
\]
So, the area of the scarf is \(\frac{9}{16}\) in simplest form.
