a. formula for finding the area of a square.
b. length = __, width = __
c. write the area as an exponent and then solve.

Explanation:

Step1: State square area formula

Let $A$ = area, $s$ = side length.
$A = s^2$

Step2: Identify square side length

From the problem, $s = 7$ in

Step3: Substitute and calculate area

$A = 7^2 = 7 \times 7$

Answer:

a. $A = s^2$
b. Length = 7 in, Width = 7 in
c. $7^2 = 49$ square inches
