What is the area of a square with a side length of 8 inches?

  1. 32 inches

  2. 64 inches

  3. 128 inches

  4. 256 inches

The correct answer is: 64 inches

In the context of geometry, the area of a square can be calculated by multiplying the length of one side by itself. In this case, a square with a side length of 8 inches would have an area of 64 square inches. Option A is incorrect because 32 inches would be the area of a square with a side length of 4 inches. Option C and D are larger numbers, indicating a larger area, making them incorrect.
