Question

If the side length is 1/5 cm then the area is blank cm squared

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you are talking about a square of side length

$\frac{1}{5} cm$

Then we can find the area of the square using

$A= {s}^{2}$

where s is the side length of the square.

We substitute the value to get:

$A= {( \frac{1}{5}) }^{2}$

Write exponent as multiplication

$A= {( \frac{1}{5}) } \times \frac{1}{5}$

Multiply to get:

$A= { \frac{1}{25} } {cm}^{2}$

Therefore the area is 1/25 cm²
