What is the area of the square with side length 7?

  1. 14

  2. 21

  3. 49

  4. 98

The correct answer is: 49

The area of a square is equal to the side length squared. In this case, the side length is 7, so the area would be 7 squared, or 49 square units. Option A is incorrect because it is just the side length, without being squared. Option B is incorrect because it is the side length multiplied by 3 instead of squared. Option D is incorrect because it is the side length multiplied by 14 instead of squared. Remember, when finding the area of a square, you must square the side length to find the total area.
