Since all sides of a square are equal, we only need to know the measurement of one side to find the area. Looking at the diagram, we see that each side measures 10 m (since there are 10 squares). Therefore, the area of the square is 10 m x 10 m = 100 sq m. The best choice is D, 100 sq m. Since all sides of a square are equal, we simply need to multiply one side by itself to find the area. Assuming the unit of measurement is meters, the side length of the square appears to be 10 meters (half the length of the diagonal). 10 meters squared equals 100 square meters, so the answer is D) 100 sq m.
