To find the area of a square, you need to square the length of one of its sides. In the given image, we see that the side length is 7 miles, as there are 7 mile markers on each side. Therefore, the area of the square is 7 x 7 = 49 square miles. Choose option D. To find the area of a square, we need to multiply the length of one side by itself. In this case, the length of one side is 7 miles (since the bottom side is labeled as 7 miles and the square has four equal sides), so the area of the square is 7 x 7 = 49 square miles. Therefore, the best choice is D.
