Answer 1

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

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

In your case, the side of the square is 13 feet.

\[
\text{Area} = 13 \, \text{feet} \times 13 \, \text{feet} = 169 \, \text{square feet}
\]

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**169 ft.²** or **169 ft. squared**.
