See below.

Explanation:

The area of a square can be calculated using the following equation:

#A=x xx x#

where #x# represents the side length, and #A# represents the area.

Based on this equation, we are basically being asked to find #A# when we are given that #x# is #1/4" in"#. Here is the solution process, where we substitute #1/4" in"# for #x#:

#A=x xx x#

#A= (1/4" in")(1/4" in")#

#A=color(blue)(1/16" in"^2#

I hope that helps!
