Since the sides of a square aretwo to the power of four ninths inches long.
Therefore, it can be written as :
The side of the square = [tex] 2^{ \frac{4}{9} } [/tex]
Now, area of square = (side)*(side) = [tex] side^{2} [/tex]
Area, A = [tex] (2^{ \frac{4}{9} } )^{2} [/tex]
or A = [tex](2^{ \frac{4}{9} } ) * (2^{ \frac{4}{9} } ) = (2)^{ \frac{4}{9} +\frac{4}{9} } = (2)^{ \frac{8}{9}[/tex]
