Answer 1

Given:

The top of the lid to a small container is in the shape of a square with a side length of 6 centimeters.

We need to determine the area of the top of the lid.

Area of the top of the lid:

The area of the top of the lid can be determined using the formula,

$A=s^2$

where s is the side length of the square

Substituting $s=6$ in the above formula, we get;

$A=6^2$

$A=36$

Therefore, the area of the top of the lid is 36 cm²

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
