Question

Find the area of a square with sides of length 1/3 yard.

A) 1/3 sq yd
B) 1/4 sq yd
C) 1/9 sq yd
D) 2/9 sq yd

Answer 1

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

\[
\text{Area} = \text{side length}^2
\]

For a square with side length \( \frac{1}{3} \) yard, the area can be calculated as follows:

\[
\text{Area} = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{9} \text{ sq yd}
\]

Thus, the area of the square is:

\[
\frac{1}{9} \text{ sq yd}
\]

So the answer is \( C) \frac{1}{9} \text{ sq yd} \).
