Answer:

C.) 413 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out the area of a square, much like a rectangle we multiply length × width. In this case because the length and width are the same (definition of a square) then it's simply $s^2$ and 8 inches is 20.32 cm (8x2.54):

$s^2=20.32^2=412.90 \approx 413$

a.) 413 cm^2
