Answer 1

Answer:

Option C. 144 square inches is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a square with one side with a measurement of 1 foot and we have to calculate the area in square inches.

First we know that 1 foot of length = 12 inches on scale

Therefore side of the square is 12 inches

Now the area of the square will be = (Side×Side) = (Side)²

                                                          = (12)² = 144 square inches.

So the area of the square will be 144 square inches.
