A square has sides that are 16 cm in length. What is the area of the square in square centimeters?(1 point)
Since the square has sides that are 16 cm in length, the area can be calculated by multiplying the length of one side by itself:
Area = side length x side length
Area = 16 cm x 16 cm
Area = 256 square centimeters
Therefore, the area of the square is 256 square centimeters.
